Note di degustazione
The 2011 Langoa-Barton has an open nose, well defined, a little lean at first though it gains more fruit intensity with aeration. Quite conservative compared to its peers though. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, a little oaky perhaps, decent depth with a touch of black pepper and tobacco. What is missing is just some elegance and tension on the finish. Fine. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.

Tasted blind. Some sweet minerally character on the nose. Rather intriguing and sinewy on the palate. Very St-Julien rather than fleshy. Should develop well. Quite a serious wine. Bone-dry finish. GV (JR)
Tasted blind. Muddy nose. Pretty austere. Not much fruit here! More about rigour and straight backs. Is this a Barton wine? Correct interpretation of the vintage? Some perceptible vigour on the end. (JR)
Smells rich, dark and oakily spiced. Light and juicy in the middle but making the most of the vintage rather than over-extracting. (JH)
Informazioni sul produttore
Hugh Barton purchased this estate, alongside Second Growth Ch. Léoville Barton, in the 1820s. Classified as a Third Growth and run by Lilian Barton with her children Damien and Mélanie today, the 20 hectares of vines produce some of the appellation’s most elegant wines – and at reasonable prices.
