The 1998 Langoa Barton is one of my favorite vintages from this château and arguably one of the years when Langoa actually outperforms Léoville. Offering up rich aromas of cassis and plummy fruit mingled with cigar ash and loamy soil, along with just a touch of grilled meats that dissipate in the decanter, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with ripe tannins and an ample core of fruit. Unusually seamless and complete, this is a compelling Langoa that demonstrates that there are terrific wines in 1998 in the Médoc, as well as in the Graves and on the Right Bank.
Producer
Château Langoa Barton
A classified Third Growth estate in Saint-Julien, Château Langoa Barton was one of the first vinous properties bought by Hugh Barton just thirty-years prior to the 1855 Classification in 1821. Today, the estate still remains in the hands of the Barton family, with eight generation Lilian Barton Sartorius at helm. The family also owns Château Léoville Barton, a Second Growth. Home to 20 hectares of vines on the southern edge of Saint-Julien, the resulting wines are true to the appellation’s traditional style.
