Langoa Barton 1986 is a medium-bodied, mature-vintage red wine from the St-Julien appellation of Bordeaux. Château Langoa Barton is a renowned property located in the Saint-Julien appellation, which was classified as a Third Growth in the prestigious 1855 Classification of the Médoc. Langoa Barton has been owned by the Barton family since 1821, and they are also the owners of the neighbouring Château Léoville Barton. The 1986 vintage was an excellent one for the property. "Tasted with Anthony Barton at the Saint Julien restaurant, this behemoth of a wine is definitely starting to pump on cylinders. As before, it needs considerable decanting, but it unfurls beautifully in the glass to reveal blackberry, dark plums, a touch of sandalwood and warm gravel. Coming direct from the property, there is a touch more fruit compared to other bottles. The palate is medium-bodied with great depth and breadth. less masculine than before, mellowing nicely with layers of lifted blackberry, plum, wild strawberry and cedar that leads to an extraordinarily long finish. There is a sense of harmony and composure to this wine that makes it utterly beguiling. Top class." Neal Martin, 2011
