Chateau Langoa-Barton is the sister property to Leoville Barton. Owned by the Barton family since 1821.

This potential sleeper of the vintage has come around nicely now that it is in bottle. Elegant yet substantial, it exhibits a dense purple color as well as a sweet bouquet of black currants, cassis, cedarwood, herbs, toast and loamy soil undertones. Medium to full-bodied with sweet tannin (a component that was not evident from barrel), it should drink nicely for 15 or more years. Date: May 2011; Rating: 90 Points; Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
