This is very fresh. The tannins carve an exceptionally deep, long line through the dark berries and cassis and deliver a very powerful, unwavering finish. This is in great form. Very powerful and focused. Try from 2024. (2\/2019)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e95 points Wine Spectator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSappy and dense, with kirsch, plum reduction, mulled açai berry and warmed fig fruit showing impressive range, while licorice snap, ganache and roasted apple wood notes jostle behind them. Mouthwatering acidity should give this plenty of time to round into form.

This is rich and deep with intense, concentrated and juicy cassis fruits joined by a touch of sweet liquorice, dark chocolate and charred oak edging. I like the balance here. Matured in 60% new oak.

Ripe dark plum, tobacco, cedar, licorice and spice are all generous in this racy, pliant Saint-Julien. The 2016 is an especially fine edition of Langoa-Barton and one of the sleepers of the vintage.

Wood aging adds a light touch of toastiness at this stage but will integrate to give a ripe wine ready to drink from 2024. (RV) (5\/2019)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e92 points Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnother beautiful Saint-Julien, the 2016 Château Langoa Barton reveals a saturated purple color to go with ample black, plummy, cherry fruits that are balanced by notes of scorched earth, licorice, and earth. This sexy, plump, chewy effort doesn’t give up too much elegance, yet it packs tons of fruit, character, and delicious charm. Drink it over the coming two decades or more. The blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, and 8% Cabernet Franc, and it’s well worth having in your cellar.
