Château Latour 2005 Red (Pauillac)

Cellar Selection

Price $2000

A great wine, the summation of a great vintage in Bordeaux. The core of richness, the dense, bone-dry tannins, the black currants, red berries and black plum skins are the elements, but it’s the way they have been integrated that makes this such an impressive wine. There is great elegance as well, a fabulous counterpoint to such power. Cellar for at least 15 years… — R.V. (6/1/2008)

Château Latour 2009 Red (Pauillac)

Cellar Selection

Price $2300

A big, powerful wine that sums up the richness of the vintage. It is densely fruity, spicy with an enormous black plum and berry fruit character to go with the acidity. It’s concentrated while still showing such wonderfully pure fruit. The aging potential is immense. — R.V. (2/1/2012)

Château Latour 2005 Barrel sample Red (Pauillac)

Online Exclusive

98-100 Barrel Sample. This has to be the wine of the vintage. It sums up all the positives of a great year: glorious fruit, power, elegance and acidity to balance. The tannins are enormous but they are still brooding rather than extracted. 87% of Cabernet Sauvignon. — R.V. (6/20/2006)

Château Latour 2010 Barrel sample Red (Pauillac)

Online Exclusive

97-99. This has great beauty, with delicious fruits at the beginning. The structure comes from behind, with such sweet fruit tannins, then chocolate, an edge of wood and finally acidity reigns supreme. — R.V. (6/25/2011)

Château Latour 2000 Red (Pauillac)

Price $450

This is such an expressive wine, with elegance a major factor in its character. It is certainly huge, rich and dense. But there is much more to it. You can peel layers of fruit and tannins away, and still never get to the end of the wine’s complexity. At every stage of its life, it will reveal a new character, but for now it is dominated by powerful tannins and… — R.V. (6/1/2003)

Château Latour 2004 Red (Pauillac)

There are tannins, structure and power, but also supreme elegance. The 2004 acidity comes through in the sweet cassis flavors, supported at the back by dry tannins. Currently, the wine is closed up, losing some of its fresh fruit, but this is a moment in its slow evolution towards a classic Latour. — R.V. (6/1/2007)

Château Latour 2003 Barrel Sample Red (Pauillac)

96-98 What makes a great Latour is a sense of completeness, of restrained power and of levels of complexity which the other first growths rarely achieve. That's why Latour 2003 is a great wine. — R.V. (6/3/2004)

Château Latour 2009 Barrel sample Red (Pauillac)

Online Exclusive

96-98 Barrel sample. So velvet, you cannot imagine that this is also a powerfully dense and tannic wine. The black berry fruits have just the right ripeness, while the texture is soft, spiced a little with wood. Under the extreme richness, powerful chocolate and delicious final acidity. — R.V. (8/9/2010)
