Tasting Notes

Not a top-notch effort, Langoa Barton's medium ruby-colored 1997 exhibits sweet, herb-tinged, berry, and currant aromas, spicy, cedary, medium-bodied flavors, low acidity, and a pleasant but undistinguished finish. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.

Score: 84

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 01 April 2000

Rather tough, but there's good berry and currant character. Medium-bodied, with silky tannins and a light, slightly dry finish. Best after 2000.

Score: 85

James Suckling, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2000+ 31 January 2000

Healthy ruby-red. Cherry, cassis and a fairly pronounced leathery component on the nose. Supple, sweet and cedary; distinctly softer than the '98. A gently styled wine but with very good depth of fruit. Finishes with ripe, even tannins and good length.

Score: 86 - 88
