February 8, 2024 - Blackberry, cigar box, leather, vegetal notes; smooth, graceful, mature, very good length and presence, extended; fruits are mostly faded but well preserved and structured
After 1.5 Hours: Nose is similar but more integrated, with cigar box and hints of perfume now more dominating; on palate more gripping and enticing but also more tart and less smooth or elegant, but engaging, lively, and pleasing -

December 24, 2020 - In a good state of maturity but frankly I found this a bit meh. Solid mature claret favours, a but tarry after a couple of hours. I’ve forgotten it already.

October 27, 2020 - The 1989 Langoa Barton is showing beautifully, unwinding in the glass with aromas of Cuban cigars, cassis, cedar and sweet spices. Medium to full-bodied, muscular and structured, with a deep core of fruit and a firm chassis of rich, structuring, tannins, it's an old-school Médoc that still hasn't attained full maturity.

December 2, 2019 - Colour still deep, the nose is cedary but also a bit leafy, not quite as ripe as I expected. The palate has flesh and is broad and easy but not so much on the finish that falls away a bit, drink up and enjoy now, current vintages feel much more impressive.
