95 Wine Spectator
Sappy and dense, with kirsch, plum reduction, mulled açai berry and warmed fig fruit showing impressive range, while licorice snap, ganache and roasted apple wood notes jostle behind them. Mouthwatering acidity should give this plenty of time to round into form. Best from 2025 through 2040. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 7,667 cases made. — JM 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.—J.M.

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.
Producer
Château Langoa Barton
A classified Third Growth estate in Saint-Julien, Château Langoa Barton was one of the first vinous properties bought by Hugh Barton just thirty-years prior to the 1855 Classification in 1821. Today, the estate still remains in the hands of the Barton family, with eight generation Lilian Barton Sartorius at helm. The family also owns Château Léoville Barton, a Second Growth. Home to 20 hectares of vines on the southern edge of Saint-Julien, the resulting wines are true to the appellation’s traditional style.
