Robert Parker (95)

The 2022 Langoa Barton has turned out superbly in bottle. Offering up aromas of cassis, blackberries, pencil shavings and violets, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, with velvety tannins, lively fruit and a long, penetrating finish. Seamless, integrated and intense, Langoa's more morcellated vineyards means that this estate has, if anything, gained even more from the Barton family's new vat room than its big brother Léoville Barton, as each parcel can now be fermented separately, optimizing its potential. This is the best young Langoa Barton I can remember tasting.

James Suckling (97)

Deep fruit, dark spices and graphite with wide yet polished, linear tannins. Full-bodied and intense with depth and structure. Long and chalky at the end. Big wine.

Vinous (94)

The 2022 Langoa Barton has a wonderful bouquet that has really blossomed since I tasted it from barrel. There is still a trait of Margaux thanks to its wilted violet element, but there may be more graphite and tobacco tones now the wine is in bottle. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins and a precise, sensual finish. It's fresh and definitely a more elegant Langoa compared to recent vintages.

Possibly the finest vintage I've tasted from this château, the 2022 Château Langoa Barton has a gorgeous perfume of red and black fruits intermixed with smoky tobacco, fresh flowers, and cedar. I love its overall balance, and it's medium to full-bodied, has a pure, layered mouthfeel, and present yet sweet, polished tannins. I love it even today, yet it deserves 4-6 years of bottle age and will cruise in cold cellars over the following two decades or more.

Jancis Robinson (17)

Deepest crimson with purple-crimson rim. Open and scented with cassis and the merest hint of cedary leafiness as well as subtly sweet oak. Big, rich, firmly, chewily tannic and with a bite of freshness on the finish. Chewy but smooth in texture, the oak not as dominant as when James Lawther tasted it en primeur. Not at all flashy yet deeply satisfying and whole-hearted. Fills the mouth with fruit and yet has a clean aftertaste.

Decanter (95)

Supple and lively, this has energy and intensity from the start. Clean and precise, well worked, cool and fresh with tannins that do well to give the frame and structure without overwhelming the fruit. Really nice this year, good movement and liveliness, rich fruit but juicy and fun. Doesn't take itself too seriously and I really like it!! Harvest 8-23 September. Yield of 30hl/ha. Ageing in French oak, 60% new.
