Chateau Langoa Barton 2010

Wines stamped with the Barton family name bring with them a certain expectation and this well and truly delivers. It is full-bodied and impressively long with subtle oak, rich cassis fruit and notes of new saddle leather, forest floor, cedar wood and spice box. A classy act in a tremendous year.

• Chateau Pichon Lalande 2010 - from £225.00
  Less opulent than the 2009 but with greater freshness and firmer, more tannic finish despite the higher proportion of merlot this year. Rich and unctuous with lovely, juicy texture, another fantastic, age worthy expression of Pauillac!
• Pichon Baron 2010 - from £260.00
  A prodigious, blockbuster effort, the 2010 is reminiscent of this estate's titanic offerings in 1989 and 1990. Giving an awesome display of creme de cassis, blackberry liqueur, licorice, camphor and spring flowers the wine is stunningly pure and unctuously textured with high but sweet, well-integrated tannins.
• Cos DEstournel 2005 - from £265.00
  The finest wine to be produced in the St-Estèphe commune in this vintage, offering beautifully sweet cassis and blackcurrant fruit, some floral notes, spice and a touch of oak in a full-bodied and exuberant bottle.
