February 3, 2022 - It’s been 3 years since I last tasted the 2016 Langoa and it’s living up to the promise it showed just after arriving in bottle. A magnificent nose greets you with muscular but not overbearing fruit, fresh blueberry and wild raspberry, potpourri, and a hint of sea breeze, joined on the palate by a cedary character. Cool, deep, and intense, it’s interesting to taste this next to a vintage like 2009 that’s so jolly and gregarious. The two faces of Langoa, in a way.
