2001 Château Langoa Barton
Deep red, showing little maturity. Blackcurrants and toasted coconut on the nose, damp tobacco just starting to show. Medium-bodied, restrained fruit with a slightly harsh tannic backbone. Pleasant and lightly floral flavours on the palate, good complexity and development. Long and lovely aftertaste, deep cherry and a bitter chocolate core. Very tasty claret. 88/100. Drunk 18 June 2011 after 5 hours decanting.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
2026: DR Very Old White, Graham Stone Terraces 2011, Quevedo Branco 1986 b.2026
