Mørk rød farge. Dufter av mørke solbærbær, modne plommer, blyantkvess, nylakkert mahogny. Meget god konsentrasjon, syre som sitter. Meget lang finish. En meget god vin fra Pauillac. Egner seg godt til grillet cote de beauf.

Noe innesluttet rett etter åpning, men kom seg veldig etter to timer hvile på karaffel. Fruktig og juicy. Klassisk solbær uten at det blir helt fruktfest. Tydelige, men veldig pene tanniner. Får ståkarakter på lengden. Kanskje litt skuffet med det samme, men til biff så kom den til sin rett. Ingen skam i å åpne denne nå, men tror nok jeg foretrekker min bordeaux med litt mer lagring.

Deep garnet-purple colored. Skips out of the glass with vibrant notes of black cherries and black raspberries, followed by hints of graphite, rose bud tea, and wild sage. The light-bodied palate is bright and refreshing with fine-grained tannins and a lively line, finishing with a real skip in its step.

The 2023 Le Pauillac de Chateau Latour is deep garnet-purple in color. It leaps from the glass with vibrant notes of wild blueberries, juicy raspberries, and candied violets plus hints of dried sage and underbrush. The medium-bodied palate is tightly knit and refreshing, with lightly chewy tannins and an herbal lift on the finish. The blend is 61.2% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34.1% Merlot, and 4.7% Petit Verdot.

Rosebuds and peony, high floral aromatics on the opening, then hits up with a kick of spice, classic cloves, anis and turmeric that you find often in Pauillac in 2022, here well balanced by berry fruits and fresh acidities. 35% new oak, harvest September 6 to 24. Hélène Génin director.

Inside Bordeaux

A blend of 60.9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, and 11.1% Petit Verdot, Le Pauillac de Chateau Latour 2021 is medium to deep garnet-purple in color. It opens with fragrant, up-front scents of black raspberries and red cherries, followed by hints of black pepper, underbrush, clove oil, and powdered cinnamon. The light-bodied palate is bright and refreshing with crunchy red fruit and fine-grained tannins, finishing with a real skip in its step.

Sappy and fresh, with a vivid and expressive quality to the blueberry fruit alongside savoury cassis bud. This has plenty of lift, good depth through the mid palate, and retains the graphite kiss and tightly muscular tannins that give appellation signature without needing to wait to being drinking. I would suggest another year in bottle, then a good long carafe. This is classic, concentrated, balanced, a buy. 32hl/h yield, 23.5% of Latour's overall production in the vintage. Hélène Genin technical director.

A blend of 55.8% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38.8% Merlot, and 5.4% Petit Verdot, Le Pauillac de Chateau Latour 2019 is medium to deep garnet-purple in color. It comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant notes of black cherries, blackcurrant jelly, and menthol, plus suggestions of garrigue, candied violets, and dark chocolate. The full-bodied palate is plush and oh-so-juicy, with a lively line to balance, and a fantastically intense, yet well-poised, finish. Just starting to open-out and reveal its decadent core, this is the best Pauillac de Chateau Latour since the fabulous 2016, albeit even more concentrated and powerful—a fitting reflection of Latour, if you will.

This is a Pauillac de Latour with clear spice and kick, with an exuberant texture from alcohol that is higher than usual after the hottest summer since 2003, alongside abundant raspberry, blueberry and black cherry fruit, spiced sandalwood and concentrated mint. 24hl/ha yield after mildew, with 21% of production going into this wine, 5.7% press wine. First year of organic certification, with biodynamic farming fully practised. Hélène Genin technical director, harvest September 17 to October 11.

An extremely fragrant vintage of Pauillac de Latour, expressive, nuanced and supple. There are some earthy notes running through the fruits, with less clear density overall than in the vintages immediately before and after this one. The emphasis instead is on raspberry and brambled blackberry fruit with tobacco, grilled cedar, touches of roebud and sage. 20% new oak.

Mørke solbær, mørke skogsbær, mørke bjørnebær, sjokolade, og noe sedertre.

Smak av konsentrerte skogsbær og bjørnebær. Konsentrerte, brede, tette tanniner

Wow, og trippel wow. Nesten sort på farve. Umiddelbar solbærduft, men denne fortok seg. Dekantert og luftet på verandaen i halvannen time. Begynte så smått å hilse på. Etter tre timer kom den som en rakett opp av glasset. Ingen tegn på høy alder, perfekt balanse, lukter og smaker som en fullblods West-Bank. Evig ettersmak. Perfekt moden nå dersom man gir den tre timer i karaffel. Tenk at man kunne kjøpe slikt for under tusenlappen. Glad jeg har en flaske til…
