Cedar, petrichor, mint, red and black cherry, some cassis and dark fruit on the nose. In the mouth, high acid but really nice, discreet tannins. Juicy yet airy mouthfeel.
Creamy oak (unintegrated?), cigar box/espresso. Subtle nuances of spices, red and black fruit. Lacks a long finish, but some glimpses of a mineral thread and truffle. Very austere and not ready to drink.
Lagrange is my benchmark wine and this falls under it.

Bright, crisp, red berries accompanied by cedar, mint and tobacco notes that show all over the place is what you find here. Medium-bodied, fresh, and forward, this is probably the earliest drinking Langoa I recall tasting. The bottle is adorned by a one-time-only special label that commemorates the families 200 years of ownership, which is an amazing and beautiful accomplishment that deserves recognition in todays, ever-changing world. Congratulations to the Barton family. The wine blends 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2025-2048.

Amsterdam UGCB Tasting (Zuiderkerk): Quite firm and structured, everything seems to be in the right place, needs time. Will probably gain another point.

UGCB Amsterdam, walkaround tasting so just short notes.: Elegant and friendly, good fruits, round tannin, the finish is a bit short.
