Chateau Langoa Barton 2006

Chateau Langoa Barton, 3eme Grand Cru Classé, St Julien, Bordeaux, France, 2006

Grapes: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot & 5% Cabernet Franc, 20ha vineyard on gravel over clay soils, hand harvested, aged 16-18 months in French oak barrels (60% new)

Critic's Tasting Notes:

"Much like its more famous sibling, Leoville Barton, the 2006 Langoa Barton is a heady, ripe, dense, tannic, powerful wine possessing a deep ruby/purple color as well as aromas of underbrush, damp earth, creme de cassis, and licorice. Rich, layered, and impressive, it will be drinkable between 2013-2030."

(90-92/100) points, Robert M. Parker Jr., WINE ADVOCATE, April 2007

"Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London. The 2006 Château Langoa Barton has a lifted nose of small dark cherries, blackberry, incense and marmalade - quite showy for Langoa Barton - but there is joie-de-vivre here. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, ripe and demonstrating impressive density plus a firm grip. This really coats the mouth in tannin, although it is still balanced. It just needs another 4-5 years in bottle, the stubborn little lady." Drink2019-2035
