2021 Château Langoa-Barton, Cru Classé St-Julien

2021 Château Langoa-Barton, Cru Classé St-Julien

Tasted April 2022. Concentrated core of ripe black fruit, with supple tannins and spiciness from oak. Around the core is fresh red fruit with some crunchy cranberry acidity and herbal notes. There's a cool, clean freshness on the finish, making this really appetising.

Tasting notes

The 2021 Langoa Barton comes in a specially designed, one-off, hand-drawn label and a sustainable cardboard box instead of wood, to celebrate the bicentenary of family ownership. The aromatics have actually moved up a step since I tasted it from barrel: intense blackberry and wild strawberry fruit, crushed violet and just a hint of eucalyptus. The oak is neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with surprisingly plush black fruit, a suave and harmonious Langoa with a dash of spice toward the finish. This is packed full of flavor and will be difficult to resist in its youth.

The 2021 Langoa Barton offers up attractive aromas of dark berries and plums mingled with sweet spices and cigar box. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and seamless, it's polished and fleshy, with an enveloping core of fruit, beautifully refined tannins and well-integrated acids.
