The 2009 Latour has an open and generous bouquet: a mixture of red and black fruit and touches of graphite and loam. This vintage displays a light marine/brine influence. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity, a firm grip and superb balance. This is very focused, with impressive salinity on the finish that lingers nicely. This is an extraordinarily beautiful Latour. Tasted blind from double magnum at a 20-year retrospective at the château. (Neal Martin, Vinous, February 2024)

🤯 Mind Blown. This is still so young but it’s a ROCKSTAR. Mocha, Blackberry, crystalline tannins that just sparkle and a string of graphite to let you know it’s Latour. Awesome. Will prob last 50 years+ and every time you drink it, it will be amazing. My 97 is where it is now. No doubt 100pts coming.
