Alles über Château Langoa-Barton Langoa Barton 2023 0.75 L Flasche 2023

- 95 Punkte, JEB DUNNUCK (032026): A blend of 60 Cabernet Sauvignon, 37 Merlot, and 3 Cabernet Franc, the 2023 Château Langoa Barton spent 18 months in 60 new French oak before bottling. Cassis, graphite, spring flowers, and liquid minerality all shine here, and it's rich, medium to full-bodied, with a round, layered mouthfeel, just about flawless balance, and a gorgeous finish. It's the finest vintage of this I've tasted, so hats off to the estates team. It will evolve gracefully for 20-30 years. There are 8,333 cases produced. Drink 2026-2053.
- 95 Punkte James Suckling, Zekun Shuai (122025): Fresh and juicy, showing precise cherries, berries, minerals and licorice. Good midpalate tension, with medium to full body and a pristine finish. Not a dense vintage, but there is a lot to like here, particularly if you enjoy Bordeaux with brightness, elegance and finesse. Quite long and taut too. A blend of 60 cabernet sauvignon, 37 merlot and 3 cabernet franc. Drink or hold.
- 95 Punkte Wine Enthusiast: Barrel Sample. An impressive tannic wine with ripeness balanced by a core of dry structure. This is a delicious wine, initially firm and tense giving it fine potential.
- 94 Punkte VINUM Weinguide: Dunkle Frucht, reif, ausladend, feinwürzig, klar und rein wie ein Bergbach zeigt Fleisch am Knochen, eine saftige Frucht, feinkörniges Tannin sehr langer, saliner Abgang, Harmonisch, wird früh Spass machen, kann reifen. 2027-2048.
- 93 Punkte WINE CELLAR INSIDER, Jeff Leve: Blackberries, cigar wrapper, flowers, and cherries fill the nose with its aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine is fresh, chewy, and Cassis, tobacco, flowers, blackberries, and red currants show easily on the nose, and palate. There is a wealth of fresh, dark red fruits, creamy tannins, and infused with tobacco, powerful tannins, and a gentle, crispness to the spicy, blackberries on the mid-palate, and in the finish. The wine blends 60 Cabernet Sauvignon, 37 Merlot, and 3 Cabernet Franc. 13 ABV. Drink from 2028-2050.
- 93 Punkte DECANTER, Panos Kakaviatos (042024): While the nose lacks the éclat of a recent run of excellent vintages here, with a more downbeat expression, there is no denying the classy expression of the Cabernet Sauvignon, which makes up 60 of the blend. There is poise in an expression not only of cassis but floral rose. Furthermore, the wine has a solid tannic edge, which will be tamed during the barrel ageing at 60 new oak, which also should broaden the palate. All this augurs well for cellaring. I also like the alcohol and acidity balance, and while the barrel sample lacks the depth of a superior vintage like 2020
- tasted on two occasions
- it shows refinement reflecting St-Julien. Potential for a higher score in bottle. 2026-2043. ;
