Score 82/100 · Drink 1990, Robert Parker, Jan 1998
Like many vintages for the Barton-owned pair of Leoville and Langoa, it is often difficult to conclude which is the better wine since they are made and handled identically. The 1981 Langoa is medium bodied, with good color, a spicy, moderately fruity bouquet, and solid tannins that are beginning to soften. It is a trifle austere. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 10/90.

About the producer

Langoa Barton
Hugh Barton purchased this estate, alongside Second Growth Ch. Léoville Barton, in the 1820s. Classified as a Third Growth and run by Lilian Barton with her children Damien and Mélanie today, the 20 hectares of vines produce some of the appellation’s most elegant wines – and at reasonable prices.
