Château Latour
Le Pauillac de Chateau Latour Red Bordeaux Blend
Exceptional for a third bottling. A roaring beauty. Length and depth with a regal, grainy texture on the mid-palate. Blueberries and scorched earth present with fruitcake notes. Tannins and acid suggest a hold for many years. I’m impressed. Will only further improve.

Feb 9th, 2024Medium concentration of garnet color. Hints of roasted green bell pepper. Turned earth, iron/iodine, tart red plum, red cherry juice, medium+ acidity medium chalky cheeky tannins still tight. Kinda thin on the palate.

Dec 5th, 2022Great color, dark and fresh. Lovely fruit in the nose- contained and brooding. Cedar pencil lead and mute blackcurrant with iodine and some spice. Resolved and delicious. Very balanced. Not particularly long and intense but classy

Oct 3rd, 2021A terrific wine for the vintage, Latour's 1993 reveals an opaque purple color, a backward, cedar, black walnut, cassis, and earth-scented nose, medium to full body, gorgeously rich, concentrated fruit, moderately high tannin (but no astringency), and a sweet, long, powerful finish. The wine does not possess any of the vegetal, green pepper characteristics of the vintage, nor any hint of hollowness or harshness. This wine may prove to merit an even higher rating.
