Score 91/100 · Drink 2019-2029, Jeb Dunnuck, Feb 2019

The 2008 Château Langoa Barton, from the Leoville Barton team, is mature yet still fresh and lively, with impressive amounts of blackcurrant and black raspberry fruits supported by complex spice and bouquet garni notes. It’s balanced, has a beautiful sweetness of fruit, and a good finish. Drink it over the coming decade.

Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2020-2040, Jancis Robinson MW, Mar 2018

Tasted blind. Salty and iodine with the fruit just ripe enough. Very dry finish. Thick – very much a wine for classicists! Not a charmer, but it improved in the glass. (JR)

Score 17/20 · Drink 2014-2030, Richard Hemming MW, jancisrobinson.com, Feb 2018

Has the sort of sweet-fruit generosity that is riper than most bordeaux in 2008. Super-fine tannins, snappy acid. Leaves quite a chew on the finish. Open and modern and charming. (RH)
