2010 Château Langoa-Barton, Cru Classé St-Julien
"Intense fruit, perfumed elements with strong wood notes. It's confident and a bit of a show-off, but the fruit and the plush tannic chewiness are at the fore, so its avoids overt minerality or leanness, unlike many in the tasting. Has weight and vigour but with freshness and mass appeal. Not so refined, but not harsh either. Cool blueberries and graphite, liquorice elements. Different style to many."
