Critic reviews
Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London. The 2006 Château Langoa Barton has a lifted nose of small dark cherries, blackberry, incense and marmalade - quite showy for Langoa Barton - but there is joie-de-vivre here. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, ripe and demonstrating impressive density plus a firm grip. This really coats the mouth in tannin, although it is still balanced. It just needs another 4-5 years in bottle, the stubborn little lady. Tasted January 2016.

The 2006 Langoa Barton has a strong eucalyptus note on the nose that slightly impedes the fruit profile, but at least there is some delineation here. The palate is medium-bodied and very linear with ripe tannins, again quite minty. The finish perhaps just lacks the flourish and elegance that a more benevolent vintage would have imparted. Still, it will offer a few more years' drinking pleasure.

Mid deep crimson with a bit of development. Pinched palate. Very drying. But it has volume and concentration. May get there eventually. Drink 2015-2025

Paraphrase: Soft, ripe blackberry and black cherry fruit rests on an elegant tannic frame; Voss expected relatively early development.
