Dry tannin and a backward, austere, muscular, brooding personality characterize Leoville Barton’s 1999. However, it is packed with grip, body, and depth. Give it 5-6 years of cellaring and hope the tannin melts away sufficiently for the fruit to come forward. It should last for two decades, but will it ever be balanced?
