2009 Château Langoa Barton, Saint-Julien

The 2009 Saint-Juliens are gorgeous and seductive right now. This Langoa Barton is direct from the Chateau with A+ provenance and impeccable label condition.  The Barton Family has a rich industry in Saint-Julien and it started with Longoa Barton. This Third Classified Growth over-delivers for the price. The 2009 is a true celebration of the senses with remarkable plush density offset by well-woven tannins. A blend of over half Cabernet Sauvignon with 34% Merlot and 12% Cabernet Franc aged in 60% new French barrique Buy a few bottles to enjoy one in the very near future and tuck the others away for another four to six years.
