Chateau Langoa Barton Saint Julien 2021 1.5Ltr

2021 is the 200th anniversary of the purchase of Langoa by the Barton family, so there is a special label this year. It is a hand-colored drawing, by a family friend of the Bartons, and Anthony is in the picture, sitting on the step with his dog. Langoa Barton 2021 is a blend of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and 3% Cabernet Franc and is has a medium to deep garnet-purple color. Scents of black cherries, juicy raspberries, and fresh blackcurrants jump from the glass, leading to touches of graphite and wild sage. The medium-bodied palate delivers plenty of lively fruit in the mid-palate, with fine-grained tannins and a red berry lift on the finish.
