  • Neal Martin, September 2019, Score: 88

    The 1999 Langoa Barton has a vibrant bouquet of lifted black cherries, fig, black olives and a marine scent that becomes more intense with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, perhaps having lost a little vigor in recent years. Grippy, dried-out tannins lead to a tarry finish. I would drink bottles sooner rather than later. This showed better a few years ago, and it seems to be in graceful decline. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the estate.

  • Robert Parker, April 2002, Score: 87

    This is a big, tannic, muscular effort for the vintage. Langoa Barton's 1999 is atypically backward and stubborn. However, there is attractive cassis/currant fruit under all the tannin. The question is, will the tannin subside sufficiently for the fruit to fully emerge? Anticipated maturity: 2006-2015.

  • Robert Parker, April 2001, Score: 88-90

    The 1999 is a soft, luscious yet concentrated effort with low acidity, sweet tannin, and excellent, possibly outstanding concentration as well as complexity. It will require 4-5 years of cellaring (unusual for a 1999), but it will keep for two decades. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2020.

  • Robert Parker, April 2000, Score: 87-88

    Spicy oak is atypically high in this dark purple-colored, medium to full-bodied, austere, beefy St.-Julien. Made in an uncompromising vin de garde style, this is one 1999 that will require 4-5 years of cellaring. There is good depth and power, but like many efforts from this vintage, it does not offer much excitement. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2016.

  • Jancis Robinson, December 2001, Score: 17/20

    Very, very deep crimson. Really appetising nose and much, much fresher fruit than most 1999s. Soft and fleshy in the mid palate but with a great kick of ripe tannins at the end. A pleasure.

  • Clive Coates, April 2003, Score: 17.5

    Fullish colour. Lovely perfumed nose. Very Cabernet Sauvignon. Very ripe. Surprising intensity. Medium-full weight. Splendidly balanced. This is a very lovely, harmonious, classy example. Very long. Fine. Drink: 2009 - 2022

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.
