"Classically structured and restrained, this is an elegant rendition from the Left Bank. Aromas of dark plum, walnut, cigar box, game lead to a beautifully poised palate that delivers sweet berry flavours and rich savoury complexity. It is firm and sturdy, and very long on the finish. At its best: now 2020" Sam Kim Wine Orbit

Rich and flavourful, dominated by spicy aromas (black pepper, nutmeg) and tobacco. Lively black fruit notes appear with oxygenation. Intense mouth flavours on the palate with ripe tannins and a long spicy aftertaste.

This wine is the ultimate homage to Thomas Barton who came to Bordeaux from Ireland in 1725. He quickly became the most important wine merchant in Bordeaux having built a solid reputation among faithful customers all over Europe, who recognized his expertise and know - how. The spirit of Thomas Barton has been perpetuated in this prestigious wine. The packaging reflects the classic elegance of the 18th century: a typical “flacon bordelais” bottle – a short capsule – a long cork – and a sober label mentioning the name of the shipper and the appellation.
