WineSpectator Review:
Balanced and refined, with silky tannins and lots of dark chocolate and mineral. Medium to fullbodied, with a lasting finish. Lovely. 89 to 91 points.
Parker Review:
Much like its more famous sibling, Leoville Barton, the 2006 Langoa Barton is a heady, ripe, dense, tannic, powerful wine possessing a deep ruby/purple color as well as aromas of underbrush, damp earth, creme de cassis, and licorice. Rich, layered, and impressive, it will be drinkable between 2013 to 2030.
Tanzer Review:
Good rubyred. Pungent aromas of currant, licorice, cedar and chocolate more complex than the 2007. Sweet, nicely delineated flavors of currant, black cherry and chocolate. Finishes with substantial but ripe tannins and very good length. Today this shows considerably more vinosity than the young 2007. 89 to 90 points.
