Chateau Latour is one of Bordeaux's most legendary First Growth estates, revered for its extraordinary concentration, structure, and unparalleled longevity. Aromas of blackcurrant, cassis, graphite, cedar, cigar box, violet, and fine spice unfold into a powerful palate with refined tannins, remarkable depth, and an exceptionally persistent finish.
Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, roast lamb, venison, duck breast, truffle dishes, or aged Comte for an unforgettable First Growth Bordeaux experience.
100 Points - James Suckling
Dark and chocolatey, with tremendous richness balanced by a cool herbal freshness, this is a remarkably impressive Médoc that is already delicious to drink. The finish is exceptionally long and surprisingly supple for Château Latour. A perfect wine. Drink or hold.
100 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Deep garnet in color, the 2009 Château Latour is unapologetically youthful, revealing bold aromas of black currants, black cherries and warm plums, alongside nuances of cedar chest, anise, beef drippings, truffles and tapenade with a hint of freshly tilled black soil. Full-bodied, concentrated and immensely powerful on the palate, it is built around a rock-solid framework of super-ripe, grainy tannins and remarkable freshness, finishing with extraordinary length and striking mineral character. Still just a baby—this wine needs time.
99 Points - Wine Enthusiast
A monumental, powerful wine that perfectly captures the richness of the 2009 vintage. Densely packed with ripe fruit and spice, it offers enormous black plum and berry flavors supported by vibrant acidity. Intensely concentrated while maintaining exceptional purity of fruit, it possesses immense aging potential.
99 Points - Wine Spectator
This comes full circle, opening with blazing iron notes and mouthwatering acidity before giving way to intense, vibrant cassis, blackberry and cherry skin flavors that race across the palate. The vivid minerality that begins the wine returns on the finish, while tobacco, ganache and espresso notes remain in the background, waiting to emerge with age. The only question is whether you can wait long enough. Best from 2020 through 2040. 9,580 cases made.
