Grand Vin Chateau Latour Red Bordeaux Blend 2003

9.6

The 4th wine at the First Growth Bordeaux lunch at the Downs Club last Saturday. Another brilliant claret defying the vagaries of the 2003 drought vintage. Sketchy notes. The nose continues with the aristocratic notes on all of the 5 First Growths we had today. Classic Gentleman’s claret with wonderful fragrance from savoury red and black fruits with whiffs of pipe tobacco and leather armchair. Amazing length. Would last into the 2030s easily and continue on. Classic Latour. — a year ago

No longer a “Vin de Bourgogne”, now a “Produit de France” this is still a great example of a French Chardonnay. Slightly more mineral than a typical Burgundy, light bodied with peach and melon followed by a crisp, clean, and quick finish that then returns with some grass and citrus. — 6 years ago
