Purpur mit rubinroten Reflexen. Betörendes Bouquet nach Alpenheidelbeeren, Brombeergelee und dominikanischem Tabak, dahinter dunkle Schokotrüffel und Lakritze. Am eleganten Gaumen mit cremiger Textur und kakaoartigem Tannin, perfekt stützend, dann umhüllt eine tänzerische Rasse den Körper und man wird einfach mitgerissen. Im aromatischen Finale betören blaue Beeren, Wacholder, dunkle Mineralik und eine edle Adstringenz. So eine Eleganz findet man dieses Jahr in St.-Julien und das hier ist ein Musterbeispiel. Gehört auf jede Einkaufsliste!

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Langoa Barton is a very pleasant surprise, singing of Black Forest cake, raspberry preserves and warm blackcurrants notions with suggestions of chocolate mint, forest floor and pencil shavings plus a hint of cinnamon toast. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has jaw-dropping tension and intensity, featuring ripe, grainy tannins and bags of evocative red and black fruits, finishing with a lively lift. The style of this 2019 is worlds away from the also very impressive 2018, showcasing an even brighter, immediately impactful and downright flamboyant side to the estate. Color me impressed!

The 2019 Langoa Barton has a very typical Langoa nose, which is a good thing, sporting vivacious black cherries, blackberry, crushed iris, cedar and light blood orange scents lurking offstage. Lovely oak integration here. The palate is beautifully defined on the entry, a structured almost big-boned Langoa with enormous grip on the spicy finish. I love the generosity of this Saint-Julien, one that I suspect will be seductive on release but don't be deceived - it deserves cellaring lest you get a smacked wrist for being impatient.
