Château Langoa Barton 2011ABV 13% Saint Julien 70% Cabernet Sauvignon 20% Merlot 8% Cab Franc 2% Petit Verdot This is lovely open wine with fleshy fruit, elegant tannins and good concentration. The fruit lingers well through the length.

but this one is of the the very best I've ever found

Will get better

as well as bright acidity

The final blend in this vintage is a racy 27% Grenache

Best ever from here

expressive Blanc de Noirs

the structure is superb

centred around the town of Asti

The palate captures the tipicity of the site with mineral

Rich and velevty in the mouth with ripe tannins and a full bodied palate which leads into a long and lasting finish

It's quite tight at the moment and will require bottle age to open
