Wine Spectator: 97 Points
Cassis, crushed plum and steeped blackberry fruit is all packed into this wine, along with tar, violet and roasted apple wood notes, plus a terrific tug of warm earth. Shows lots of energy in reserve, with a tightly knit finish pulling everything together. Cellaring required. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
Wine Enthusiast: 97 Points
In this wine, fine and rich tannins partner with powerful black-plum and black-currant fruits. Densely textured while also having swathes of rich fruits, the wine shows both a firm side and one that offers total deliciousness. As it matures, both these aspects will come together.
Antonio Galloni: 94 Points
The 2018 Leoville Barton has a ripe and generous bouquet with black currants, blueberry, crushed violets that might cheekily be described as Langoa-plus. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity. This has a firm grip, one of the most structred Leoville-Bartons that has been encountered with a slightly lactic finish.
Wine Advocate: 94+ Points
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Léoville Barton needs a little swirling to coax out delicate notions of fresh blackberries, mulberries and cassis, plus touches of pencil shavings, clove oil, charcoal and black truffles. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers a great intensity of earth and mineral-laced black fruit flavors, supported by firm, ripe, grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing on a lingering ferrous note.
