Description

Cabernet Sauvignon 55%; Merlot 37%; Cabernet Franc 8%.

This wine has a wonderful dark purple hue and a very strong, fine colour this year. It has notes of cedar, mint, and pine. On the palate, it is sappy and bright with a suave texture and grippy tannins. The vines here are grown on deep gravel over a clay subsoil. It finishes long, with a saline finish.

Critics reviews

James Molesworth 93-96/100
The fresh blueberry, cherry and black currant flavors give this a wide range, while racy graphite and a mouthwatering anise streak drive the finish. The fruit is so enticing that you lose track of how solidly built this is through the finish. james_molesworth - Wine Spectator, April 2017

Jane Anson MW 94/100
This is a controlled, confident and elegant demonstration of the appellation in this vintage. Coffee grounds on the nose and through the mid palate with tight, cassis-drenched fruits, cedar and menthol, ticking those St-Julien boxes. Drinking Window 2027 - 2050. jane_anson_mw - Decanter, 3rd April 2017

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW 93/100
The 2016 Langoa Barton is medium to deep garnet-purple colored and opens with cedar, red and black currants, kirsch and menthol with smoked meats. The palate is medium to full-bodied, firm, grainy and packed with youthful, energetic fruit, finishing long and perfumed.Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 30/11/2018

Exceptionally dark purple. Very meaty, concentrated nose with real lift. Lots of graphite and grit. No spare flesh but truly terroir wine. Sinewy. Bone-dry finish. Very much in its own style. But long and precise. Drink 2027-2045. jancis_robinson_mw - 18th April 2017
