2018 CHÂTEAU LANGOA BARTON (SUBSKRIPTION)

Wine Spectator: 93-96/100 Punkte 
»This has the ripe, intense, racy feel of the vintage, with cassis, plum and blueberry compote flavors, carried by a long graphite spine. A textbook 2018 and a textbook St.-Julien.«

James Suckling: 93-94/100 Punkte 
»There’s real freshness to the crushed-raspberry and blueberry character of this young red. Medium-to full-bodied and zingy with energetic tannins. Crisp finish. Lovely purity of fruit to this.«

Decanter: 93/100 Punkte
»The gap has been closing recently between Langoa and Léoville Barton, but Langoa is not quite keeping up in this vintage. There's no question that here is a firm, structured, complex and concentrated wine with an effortless St-Julien signature, but the tannins are a touch more foursquare on the finish, not quite as supple and full of life as in 2016. Still, it will be ready to drink sooner and offers tons of pleasure in the glass, so I'm not complaining. 60% new oak. Drinking Window 2026 - 2038«

Falstaff: 93/100 Punkte
»Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart nach frischen Orangenzesten, dunkle Beerenfrucht, Brombeeren, ein Hauch von Limettenzesten unterlegt. Mittlere Komplexität, schwarze Beerenfrucht, gut integrierte Tannine, mineralisch, verfügt über Länge und Süße im Abgang, gutes Entwicklungspotenzial.« 

Robert Parkers Wine Advocate: 92-94/100 Punkte
»The deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Langoa Barton is slightly shy at this nascent stage, revealing wonderfully pure, warm red and black currant scents with nuances of blueberry preserves, chocolate mint, smoked meat and a waft of bouquet garni. Full-bodied, rich and sporting a lot of vibrant, juicy fruit in the mouth, it has firm, rounded tannins and a lively backbone lifting the fruit to a good, long finish.«

Wine Enthusiast: 92-94/100 Punkte
»Barrel Sample. This wine has generous tannins that are matched by a blackberry flavor. It has the structure and concentration that will allow the wine to age.«
