2001 Château Langoa Barton
Posted: 22:13 Sat 18 Jun 2011
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.
