A dense ruby/purple color as well as a muscular, ageworthy personality are found in this "no BS" sort of wine. It possesses loads of body, impressive concentration, and firm tannin in the finish. However, it is a wine for those who are able to defer their gratification as it requires another 4-5 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2025. (4/ 2001)
Langoa Barton is once again a candidate for top sleeper from the region. Done in 50% new oak, it exhibits black currant aromas with plenty of oak on the nose. It shows roasted coffee-like flavors, lots of structure, plenty of dark fruits and a firm finish. With more than a decade in bottle to soften up, it should be excellent. Those not familiar with this wine should know that it's produced by Anthony Barton, one of the finest winemakers in the world, owner of Leoville-Barton and one heck of a nice guy too.
