Chateau Langoa-Barton, Saint-Julien, 3ème Cru Classe, 2012

Plenty of juicy blackcurrant fruit and background oak are present in this plump, medium to full-bodied, ripe, well-made wine. Not nearly as tannic as I feared, this wine shows a forward plumpness, excellent purity, texture and length. Drink it over the next 15-20 years.
Drink: 2015 – 2035
