Chateau Langoa Barton 2012 St Julien

St Julian is the smaller of the four communes in the Medoc, and can produces wines with all the delicacy and style of Margaux and in a stellar vintage they capture the muscular ferocity of Paulliac. Sister property to Leoville Barton and in the family for two centuries, the wines are always age worthy and defining expressions of St Julian's best efforts. Wonderfully firm tannins with an abundance of dark fruit, a powerful structure and a lively, mineral laden finish.
