One of the last high-quality vintages with traditional Médoc style. The 2000 Léoville-Barton has 12.5% alcohol, as was common in the 20th century, and has enormous pressure on the palate. At Parker you get 95+/100 points for this brilliant achievement.
If stored properly, this wine can last half a century.
