Tasting Notes | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
The 2007 Langoa Barton has an attractive bouquet with blackberry, autumn leaves, truffle and salted licorice scents that gain intensity in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a harmonious entry and a gentle grip in the mouth; it's quite a compact Saint Julien, which suggests that it could be one of the long-term bets. There is just a touch of bitterness on the finish, but otherwise this has good potential. Tasted February 2017.

A blend of 77.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 7.5% Cabernet Franc. This has a ripe blackberry, violet tinged nose that is perhaps lacking the clarity and vigour that it often shows at this stage. A touch of seashells become apparent in the glass. The palate is full-bodied, quite sinewy comparative to other Saint Juliens with good concentration and purity of fruit with no signs of under-ripeness. The Langoa 2007 has a persistent finish with good depth and focus with blackberry and cedar to the fore. Very fine, as usual.

The dark-colored 2007 Langoa Barton may be too angular, austere, and excessively extracted. This masculine, hard wine may or may not settle down, but it is not a style of wine that’s conducive to the lightness and charm of a vintage such as 2007. Time will tell. Forget it for 3-4 years, and keep your fingers crossed. Score: 87 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2013 30 April 2010 |

Offers sultana and currant, with hints of vanilla. Medium-bodied, with polished, pleasing fine tannins and a medium finish. Needs something more midpalate to be outstanding. Best after 2012. 7,915 cases made. Score: 88 James Suckling, Wine Spectator 31 March 2010 |

Lovely ripe fruit, with blackberry and cherry character and chocolate undertones. Long finish. Soft texture. Score: 88 - 91 James Suckling, Wine Spectator 01 April 2008 |

Medium ruby-red. Black raspberry, smoke and sexy oak on the nose. Supple and pliant, with rather soft chocolate and plum flavors lifted by a floral nuance. On the light side (the alcohol is a modest 12.5%) and lacking a bit of thrust, but gracefully made and likely to give early pleasure. Score: 86 - 88 Stephen Tanzer, - 20 May 2008 |

Very dark crimson. Sweet blackberries on the nose - much riper than most. Very flashy! Tastes like Rolland style even if I can’t immediately think of a St-Julien where Rolland consults. Blind, this didn’t taste like a wine from the Barton stable to me, although it was certainly much more luscious than the Léoville Barton.

Fine black-red, precise but ripe blackcurrant fruit with slight cedary elements, elegant and long flavours, no greenness nor hollowness, and very good in the leaner 2007 style. Drink 2013-22. Score: 17 Decanter, - Maturity: 2013-2022 08 April 2008 |

Spicy black curranty fruit, cedar, grainy tannins and some grip. Medium-bodied with the very good grainy texture typical of the Barton wines. Nice complexity and a chewy finish. Balanced and even. Very trim. Score: 89 - 91 Albany Vintners, - 01 April 2008 |
