2012 Château Léoville Barton apicotado exhibits an intense red color with purple reflections, Abundant and pulpy, makes you salivate. Have a frank sign of persistence. The aftertaste pointed blackberries, raspberries, wild berries, vanilla, licorice, red flower petals, short wood, toasted suggestive, dairy and cream, and by the end a soft spot wildlife, forestry, nature. Nose with a good aromatic intensity, reflecting memories of red fruit and toast point and spicy, yet very light, always in second instance, and from twenty months aging in French oak barrels, in a proportion sixty percent of new wood. The palate is meaty, exposes youth to the longitudinal acidity, no fruit in abundance which is reflected on the palate and an elegant means of freshness. Tannins still vibrant, elevations, rugged, with a key to anything leathery astringency, although it sounds weird; even integrated into the assembly.
