Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(Ed 1998)
Anthony Barton's 1985 may turn out to be a remake of the chateau's splendid 1953. Deep rubygarnet with a complex, complete, and intense bouquet of sweet, superripe, curranty fruit, minerals, cedar, spice, and baked herbs, this medium-bodied wine has exceptional balance, fine length, gobs of fruit, and soft tannin in the velvety finish. This classic claret is a joy to drink.
