What reviewers say
“Infinite complexity of dried fruit and savoury flavours in this aged St Julien, but serve with food! In 2025, the 2004 appears deep garnet. Generous aromas of peppermint, kirsch, perfumes, sweet smoke, potpourri, dried basil, intense cherry reduction, tar and leather.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Blackberry, floral and dark chocolate follow through to a medium body, with fine tannins and a fresh finish. With notes of earth and black currant fruit submerged beneath a tannic structure.
Château Langoa Barton Saint-Julien (Grand Cru Classé) is a red from Saint-Julien, France. It blends Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The cheapest 750 ml listing found for it is $85.99, which puts the bottle in the $60–120 band.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 1,133 other reds from France, not against the corpus as a whole. 3,749 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 3,796 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Château Langoa Barton Saint-Julien (Grand Cru Classé) lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · France (1,134 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 3,749.
