97 points Jane Anson (Decanter): "Anthony Barton had been running Léoville Barton for three years at this point, but in 1986 - the year that his uncle Ronald died (after a tenure that had begun back in 1924) - it passed fully into his ownership. Huge tannins are still evident in this wine. It was pretty backward and unforgiving for many years but it showed incredibly well during this tasting and is definitely ready to be enjoyed. It displays tons of liquorice and blackcurrant, exotic spice notes and a swagger through the finish. The exact blend was not recorded, so the blend shown reflects the vineyard plantings. Harvested from 4 to 17 October. Drinking Window: 2019-2030. (May 2019)"
