Château Langoa Barton

Robert Parker: The first vintage vinified in the Barton family's new winery, the 2021 Langoa Barton is immensely promising, offering up aromas of cassis, cigar wrapper, loamy soil and black truffle, followed by a medium to full-bodied, velvety and seamless palate that's deep and complete, its vibrant core of fruit framed by ripe tannins and lively acids. It's a blend of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. Tasted three times. (92-94) Falstaff: Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Mit Orangenzesten unterlegte feine Nuancen von Cassis und Brombeeren, sehr einladendes Bukett. Mittlerer Körper, reife Kirschen, feine Tannine, leichtfüßig und zugänglich, vielseitig einsetzbar. (92)
