The 2016 Langoa Barton is a real star from St-Julien. A beautifully classical nose of bramble fruit, sandalwood and graphite with accents of violets and wild herbs. The palate is supple and full of freshness with a certain muscularity and depth which builds to the long, savoury finish with tinges of tobacco and pencil shavings.
The 2016 Langoa Barton is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc picked between 29 September and 13 October. It is being matured in 60% new oak barrels. It has a very succinct bouquet, with a mixture of black and red fruit, a slight sea spray/estuarine tincture, hints of leather and brown spice in the background. The palate is very harmonious on the entry with a grainy texture. There is good backbone here, maybe just a little foursquare compared to other Saint Julien wines, but it gathers pace towards the finish that displays touches of spice and cedar. Understated and classic Langoa.
