Château Langoa et Léoville Barton
Visual aspect: a superb, vivid black cherry colour.
Nose: very delicate and vegetal, a hint of pepper, as well as aromas of red and black fruit and spices.
Palate: full-bodied, smooth on roundness, a hint of pepper and excellent, crisp, tightly-knit tannin. A powerful wine. Magnificent finish.
Match with food: jugged hare.
Comments: a splendid wine in a complicated vintage. Buy some immediately!
