A classic St-Julien with roundness, finesse and length, now in graceful maturity.

Tasting notes Chateau Langoa-Barton 2010 ROBERT PARKER I 90-92 Softer than I expected given the highly extracted, exceptionally tannic wines routinely produced by proprietor Anthony Barton, the oaky, powerfully concentrated, dense 2010 Langoa Barton possesses silky, well-integrated tannins. Nevertheless, the level of wood and the primary nature of the black currant and black cherry fruit suggest 7-8 years of cellaring will be essential. This is a 30-year wine.

2007 is recognised as being a lesser vintage than the seductively correct 2005 and 2009, but thwere is absol-utely everything to play for here. Forward, appetising dark, plumy fruit, with softened tannins and well integrated acidity. A drinking vintage, rather than a laying-down vintage, and which shows bags of accessible charm.

Description and Reviews: ** 90 Points - Robert Parker ** ** 91 Points - Wine Journal ** Reviews: "This potential sleeper of the vintage has come around nicely now that it is in bottle. Elegant yet substantial, it exhibits a dense purple color as well as a sweet bouquet of black currants, cassis, cedarwood, herbs, toast and loamy soil undertones. Medium to full-bodied with sweet tannin (a component that was not evident from barrel), it should drink nicely for 15 or more years." Robert Parker, Wine...

A Celebrated Bordeaux Châteaux, Langoa-Barton illustrates perfectly the elegance, charm and style of St Julien. Purchased by the Barton family in 1821 who then added the vast Château Leoville vineyard (later known as Leoville-Barton) to their repertoire a few years later, this illustrious château has remained in the family for over two centuries.

"Shows violet and blackberry, with hints of raisin. Full and velvety, with lovely-textured tannins and plenty of ripe fruit on the finish. Balanced and rich." Wine Spectator 91 points Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Cabernet Franc

Description and Reviews: 86 Points (excellent) Robert Parker "Another successful 1991, Langoa Barton's effort in this vintage produced a deeply-colored wine with an attractive cedary, cassis, and leather-scented nose, medium-body, firm flavors, admirable richness and depth, and a spicy, masculine finish." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate

Warm and generous with its feminine, creamy, spicy raspberry fruit acting as the perfect foil for the more masculine black fruit flavours of the Léoville-Barton. This is a very precise yet sumptuous St Julien expressing classic Cabernet characteristics amidst wonderful fresh acidity.

The 2004 campaign set a record for being the largest crop in Bordeaux history and produced what is known as a 'classic' vintage. These wines can be approached young and offer good value accross the board. The Langoa Barton 2004 is a very good wine and typically fantastic value for money.

From the very good 2004 vintage and scoring 90/100 Parker points, "Another sleeper of the vintage from this somewhat under the radar step-child of Anthony Barton’s more famous Leoville Barton, the 2004 Langoa Barton exhibits deep, concentrated, chunky, black currant and cherry fruit intermixed with notions of forest floor and aged beef blood. This impressive, full-bodied, powerful, ageworthy St.-Julien is atypically backward and brooding." Drink now - 2025.

Langoa is always the easier of the two Barton wines to taste, with a hint more overt fruit but the 2010, much like the '09, made us wonder why pay more for the Léoville when the Langoa is so outstandingly good? The answer would become more apparent with the passing of the years with the latter peaking earlier, and the former having the legs to take it into a third decade if patience and resolve permitted. 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot and 12% Cabernet Franc. On tasting, this already had some...
