Cháteau Langoa Barton Saint-Julien, 2018

Chateau Langoa Barton

Deep ruby/purple hue; charming, medium- to full-bodied and velvety-textured, with notes of red, blue, and black fruits plus spice box, dried flowers, and a touch of lead pencil. Surprising up-front appeal with ripe, velvety tannins and nicely integrated acidity.

The 2018 Langoa Barton has a deep garnet-purple color and notions of ripe blackcurrants, fresh blackberries and kirsch with touches of bouquet garni, cedar chest and pencil lead plus a hint of crushed rocks. The medium-bodied palate is elegantly styled and refreshing with bright, red fruit and herbal sparks lifting the black fruit and an approachable, chewy texture, finishing savory.
