Château Langoa Barton 2011 is a Third Growth Saint-Julien produced from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. In this half-bottle format, the wine has matured at a faster rate than in larger formats and now shows a complex profile of dried fruit, cedar and leather. It retains a firm tannic structure and a core of redcurrant fruit that provides a sense of freshness on the palate.
90 Vinous
The 2011 Langoa-Barton has an open nose, well defined, a little lean at first though it gains more fruit intensity with aeration. Quite conservative compared to its peers though. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, a little oaky perhaps, decent depth with a touch of black pepper and tobacco. What is missing is just some elegance and tension on the finish. Fine. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.Neal Martin1st April 2022

Aromatic dark fruit and cassis, very inviting, on the leafy side. Some sweet chocolate tones on the palate. Polished, deft tannins, moreish juicy finish. (JH)
