Country: France Region: Bordeaux (Saint Julien) Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot Blend Vintage: 2016  Colour: Red Style: Dry Producer: Chateau Langoa-Barton Description:Anthony Barton has lived in Bordeaux for 55 years, but he is no Frenchman. Indeed, he is an Irish country gentleman transplanted to St Julien in the Médoc, where for over 20 years he has owned and run Châteaux Léoville-Barton and its neighbour Langoa-Barton. Barton has never had time for the greed that characterises so much of the Bordeaux scene, so his wines have always offered exceptional value. We are delighted to offer the Châteaux Léoville and Langoa-Barton as well as the Reserve de Leoville Barton the second wine from both Châteaux. Tasting Note: ​ This is a controlled, confident and elegant demonstration of the appellation in this vintage. Coffee grounds on the nose and through the mid palate with tight, cassis-drenched fruits, cedar and menthol, ticking those St-Julien boxes.Drinking Window 2027 - 2050 Score: 94 Jane Anson Food Matches: Red Meat / Beef / Lamb / Veal
