CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
The 2023 Langoa Barton is all class. There's a bit more fruit density and mid-palate weight than in most vintages, but all the elements are so well balanced. Succulent red cherry/plum fruit, rose petal, pomegranate, mint and sweet spice flesh out in the glass. What an absolute delight.

The 2023 Langoa Barton is a very accomplished wine, the family's new winery having permitted more precise, parcel-by-parcel winemaking as well as gentler handling of the fruit to deliver a wine with all this estate's customary intensity of flavor but more polish and refinement. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cassis and plums mingled with hints of pencil shavings and dried rose petals, it's medium to full-bodied, with an inky core of fruit, vibrant acids and plenty of suave structuring tannin. This classic blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc is sure to number among the intelligent purchases of the en primeur campaign.

60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc.A much higher proportion of Merlot comes through on the ripe, velvety and plush palate. Generous but not the most concentrated of St-Juliens. Very subtle oak, nice grain and gloss to the tannins. Pleasurable but I'd like to remember the aftertaste a bit more. (AWH)
