Chateau Langoa-Barton Saint-Julien 3eme Grand Cru Classe Red 2012 - Original wooden case of 12 bottles
Château Langoa-Barton offers us here a superb wine with aromas of red fruits (raspberry, cherry), supple and fine in the mouth, with a beautiful finish, which can be enjoyed now. However, a few years in the cellar would be preferable to appreciate all its qualities, but 2012 is a vintage to be tasted rather quickly.
With a hot and dry summer but preceded by a wet spring and followed by heavy rains in autumn, the 2012 vintage was very contrasting for Bordeaux wines, between the right and left banks, Merlot and Cabernets, reds, dry whites and sweet whites. If the quality of the wines is there in Saint-Julien, it is because of the extreme care taken by the châteaux to sort the grapes and then in the cellar, during blending.
