<p>Chateau Langoa Barton, 3eme Grand Cru Classe Saint Julien, Bordeaux, France, 2017Grapes:54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc planted on 20ha of gravel over clay soil vineyards, hand harvested, fermented on a plot by plot basis in wooden vats, aged for 16-18 months in oak barrels (60% new wood)Dense purple colour. Very expressive nose with some notes of raspberry, blackberry and violet. In mouth, the wine is elegant, round and smooth. Juicy with fresh red fruits. Long finish very fruity.Critics’ Tasting Notes:”The 2017 Langoa Barton is medium to deep garnet-purple colored and features wonderfully pure scents of crushed blackcurrants, wild blueberries and black raspberries plus wafts of underbrush, dark chocolate and violets. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is laden with seductive black and blue fruits, framed by grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and perfumed.”93/100 points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate, March 2020″Healthy cherry red. Inviting and elegant dark-fruit aroma with just a light char. Here, after several left-bank wines that lacked enough fruit depth in the middle, is one that has weight and depth on the mid palate that gives a rounded, fresh and complete wine. Succulent, juicy and well-structured for the longer term but still elegant.
