2015 Langoa Barton
Buying options
Tasting notes
The 2015 Langoa Barton has a classy bouquet with cedar- and tobacco-infused black fruit along with a little sous-bois that emerges with time. The palate is medium-bodied. taut and crisp, with pliant tannins and plenty of graphite toward the finish that is endowed with fine density and satisfying length. The 2015 is excellent. Tasted blind at the 2015 Bordeaux Ten-Year-On tasting at Farr Vintners.

Layered and juicy 2015 with currants, light chocolate and cedar character. It’s full-bodied, round-textured and very pretty. Extremely long and flavorful. So friendly and bright. Drink or hold.
Very ripe and fruit with lots of mature berry and plum character. Full body, round tannins and a savory finish. Juicy. Mar 2016, www.JamesSuckling.com
Very fresh, with a sleek frame around bright red currant and plum notes. Shows really good cut through the finish. Mar 2016, James Molesworth, www.WineSpectator.com
