18 - Steven Spurrier

2010
Black red, rich, intense black summer fruits, clear and precise with very good natural concentration and depth, expressively elegant, already showing great charm above the firmness. Drink 2015-28.

2010
Opulent blackberry aromas. Lovely jam, but fresh. Full-bodied and rich. This wine sneaks up on you and follows on the end with lots of chewy tannins. Balanced and round.

90 - Robert Parker

2012
Backward, tannic and beefy, this youthful but formidable 2009 Langoa Barton exhibits a dense ruby/purple color as well as lots of damp earth, underbrush and black currant aromas and flavors, medium to full body, lively acids and, not surprisingly, massive tannins (a characteristic of all the Barton wines). The overall impression is somewhat incongruous, having a certain precociousness in the aromatics, but then clamping down on the taster in the mouth. I recommend waiting 5-7 years before opening a bottle. It should drink well over the following 20-25 years.

2019
The 2009 Langoa-Barton has a gorgeous bouquet with blackberry, bilberry, cedar and light tobacco aromas that blossom from the glass. This feels so composed and pure. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, fine-grain tannin, beautifully judged acidity and a svelte, languorous finish that fans out with style. What a gorgeous and utterly seductive Saint-Julien. It turns out to be Langoa Barton, a wine that I have rated very highly in the past. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting. Drink 2022-2045.
Description

Château Langoa Barton is a historic Third Growth estate in the Saint-Julien appellation of Bordeaux, owned by the Barton family since 1821. The estate remains one of the most traditional in the Médoc, with a strong focus on consistency and classical winemaking. Vineyards lie on deep gravel soils over clay, ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon, which dominates the blend alongside Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The 2009 vintage benefited from warm, dry conditions, producing ripe, structured wines with excellent concentration and ageing potential.

Château Langoa Barton 2009 is typically a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and a small proportion of Cabernet Franc. Grapes are hand-harvested, fermented in temperature-controlled vats with around three weeks of maceration, then aged for 16–18 months in French oak barrels, around 60% new. The wine shows classic notes of blackcurrant, plum, cedar, tobacco and graphite, with firm tannins and freshness.
