Tasting Notes | ||||

Plenty of juicy blackcurrant fruit and background oak are present in this plump, medium to full-bodied, ripe, well-made wine. Not nearly as tannic as I feared, this wine shows a forward plumpness, excellent purity, texture and length. Drink it over the next 15-20 years. Score: 90 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2015-2035 01 April 2015 |

Fruity, short and narrowly constructed, the 2012 Langoa Barton displays a deep ruby/plum/purple color, fresh acids, sweet tannins and less weight, muscle and power than usual. It is a good but uninspiring effort to drink over the next 10-12 years. Score: 86 - 88 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2013-2025 26 April 2013 |

Dark crimson. Edgy, leafy nose with thick appeal though it lacks a bit of really spontaneous freshness. Solid. Score: 16 - 17 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2020-2032 23 April 2013 |

A little fluid but some attractive blueberry and currant character. Medium body, fine tannins. Light finish. Score: 89 - 90 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 21 April 2013 |

Soft at the core, featuring gentle plum and cherry pie notes, with dusty tannins and powdered vanilla accents on the finish. Score: 87 - 90 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 08 April 2013 |
