Langoa Barton was bought by Hugh Barton in 1821. This was some 30 years before the classification of 1855 and Hugh was not to know that Langoa would be classified as a 3rd growth. A blend of 54% Cab Sauv, 38% Merlot & 8% Cab Franc, & 60% new oak. Vivid deep red with aromas of juicy red sweet berry fruits, tobacco and floral notes. On the palate cherry & plum with licorice, cacao and earthy oak. Fine tannins, lingering soft ending. Drinks well now!

16.5+/20 (90+/100) Молодой аромат с нотами спелых ягод чёрной смородины, бузины, чернослива, шоколада и кокоса. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и интенсивными, бархатистыми танинами. Насыщенное во вкусе. Очень хорошо!

I couldn't resist to see how good the 2015s are doing. Decanted for 90 minutes.
Very young and shows very well for the future for this and the 2015 bordeaux vintage.
I could see this gaining 2 to 3 pts in a few years.
