Absolutely Perfect Now.
The 2004 Château Langoa Barton is at its peak, displaying a deep garnet color. The nose is complex and beautiful, offering aromas of oak, vanilla, black currant, blackberry, black cherry, tobacco, wet leaves, and mushrooms. On the palate, the tannins and acidity have mellowed but remain beautifully integrated, providing a fresh yet savory experience with meaty notes. The long finish, with grippy tannins and powerful acidity, lingers impressively.
