I quite like this. In general I love Langoa, but wonder whether this is on the downward slope? Not according to others; but I find this is more satin/dusty structure than fruity. Almost collapsed. But more-ish nevertheless. Am going to try the 06 tonight.

Not impressive. Coravin'd 8 oz. Let it sit in a good Bordeaux glass for 30 min then consumed over another 30 minutes. I beleive the others have had a more exciting interface with this wine and hope that perhaps this just needs more time to unfold. But I am skeptical as I do not sense the same St Julien fine military grandeur that a Ducrcu, Beychevelle or Leoville delivers. Interesting to see that Jancis downgraded her score over time.

Beautiful nose, showing lots of black fruit, sweet tobacco, a tad dusty. On the palate, nice acidity, medium tannins, long finish. Black tea and black fruit. Needed 1.5 hrs in the decanter to improve. Could age longer if you want more tertiary notes.

(Château Langoa Barton) Medium red violet color; lovely blackberry liqueur and caramel nose; good rich palate of tangy cassis, berry and graphite; medium finish

Poured through Venturi. Enjoyed this much more than last bottle two years ago; seems to have knit together well, with fruit outlasting the tannins.

Classic Langoa. Medium weight, fruit/alcohol/tannins all balanced. At its best. Drink in the next 2-3 years.
