Midnight in Paris would not be complete without having a pair of excellent Langoa Barton from a great Bordeaux appellation, Saint Julian.

Chateau Langoa-Barton (St Julien) 2000: Dense, youthful, impressive colour - as with so many of the 2000s. Toasty oak, blackcurrant oil, fruit gum sweetness. On the palate, elegance and balance are in place, despite the wealth of fruit, tannin and acidity. Concentrated. Brilliant. One for the cellar; may well need something approaching two decades to show its best.

Chateau Langoa-Barton (St Julien) 2003: A lovely, almost exotic dark fruit nose. Quite captivating although hardly typical blueberry and blackberry aromas. Succulent palate, good ripe fruit, with a firm core of tannins. Good acidity. A little violet edge to the flavour. This is good claret - well done.
