  • Robert Parker, April 1996, Score: 85-86

    The 1995 is certainly better than the 1994, but it has nowhere near the class, richness, and potential grandeur of its sister estate, Leoville-Barton. There is good color and ripeness, and medium body in this cleanly made, elegant 1995. The wine's low acidity and good concentration suggest it will drink well when released and keep for 10-15 years.All of the wines in this segment were tasted between March 19 and March 28 in Bordeaux. Most of the important wines from both the 1994 and 1995 vintages were tasted three separate times during my ten-day stay in Bordeaux. Drink: 1996-2011.

  • Robert Parker, February 1997, Score: 87-88

    Inky black/purple in color, this traditionally rendered claret is muscular and dense, as well as astringently tannic. My only reservation is whether the fruit is sufficient to balance out the wine's structure. Purely made, dense, and chewy, but perhaps too austere and tough-textured, this wine will be at full maturity between 2005-2020.

  • Robert Parker, February 1998, Score: 86

    The 1995 Langoa-Barton has been perplexing to evaluate. It is woody, monolithic, and exceptionally tannic without the fruit and flesh necessary to provide equilibrium. There are some positive components - a saturated dark ruby/purple color, hints of ripe fruit, and pure, clean flavors - but the wine's angularity/austerity is troublesome. It will probably be a good, but old style claret that will never resolve all of its tannic bite. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2016.

Producer

Château Langoa Barton

This château is owned by the Barton family (with Léoville Barton). Serving as a home and a winecellar, Langoa took its name from "gué" an old French word for the small stream that flows at thesouthern end of the property. Unlike the classical style of its stable mate, Langoa tends to be more approachable and flattering at a young age with fleshy fruit and textured tannins.

Region

St Julien

St Julien is like the middle child of the Médoc - not as assertive as Pauillac or as coquettish as Margaux. It lies firmly between the two more outspoken communes and as a result produces a blend of them both. St Julien's wines have often been sought out by aficionados for their balance and consistency, particularly in the UK. Yet due to its middle child nature, it can occasionally be overlooked globally and as a result underrated by those markets outside the UK. Despite the fact that it has no first growths, it has several second growths including Léoville Las Cases, Léoville Barton, Léoville Poyferré and Ducru Beaucaillou as well as the celebrated châteaux such as Talbot and Beychevelle.
