Critic reviews
"The 2014 Langoa Barton was impressive in barrel and this bottle-showing completely vindicated that initial enthusiasm. It has an impressive bouquet with redcurrant, blackberry and cedar aromas, with a hint of violet as it opens in the glass. This is lovely. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe black cherry and raspberry fruit on the entry. It comes across as a playful, joyous, exuberant Langoa Barton that is almost sensual on the long finish. What a great 2014 Saint Julien from team Barton! Form an orderly queue and load up on this gem."

"The 2014 Langoa Barton has a potent menthol-tinged bouquet that occludes the terroir expression and renders this a bit generic. The palate is powerful and lush, with candied red fruit, blood orange and allspice. The 2014 is a more modern-styled Saint-Julien, though it just about pulls it off. There's just a bit of alcohol lingering on the aftertaste, but I can abide that. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting."

"The 2014 Langoa-Barton is pliant, open-knit and succulent. Sweet red berry, tobacco, licorice and dried flowers all develop nicely, but it is the wine's midpalate juiciness and suppleness that stand out. The oak and tannins could use a bit more time to settle down. Otherwise, this is very nicely done. Tasted two times."
Antonio Galloni, February 2017, Vinous.com
"Abundant dark berry fruits, cool climate mint and tomato leaf fragrance, chalky tannins, slate tug as it opens, balanced and effortless. This is very St Julien, subtle and slow build, one to open over the next decade, not as long lasting as its sibling Léoville Barton, without the rich concentration of 2016 Langoa, but full of charm. 70% new oak."
