Inky in color, one look at this wine begins the love story. The level of intensity is almost off the hook. The wine is rich, powerful, mouth-filling, dense and electric. The wine coats your palate with layers of perfectly ripe, dark red fruits, a slab of rocks, salt and firm, polished tannins. The finish clocks in at over 60 seconds! This is a vintage that will age for decades. Clearly, this is a future legend in the making. The wine was made from a blend of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Merlot, reaching 14.3% alcohol. The harvest took place September 17 to October 11. The Grand Vin was made from 37% of the harvest. Across the board, the yields were low at Latour at 24 hectoliters per hectare. 98-100 Pts

Geproefd op Château Latour op vrijdag 05.04.2019. Meest volle neus van de 2018's van deze stal. Attaque is vol en breed. Zeer krachtige wijn. Compleet profiel. Zeer drogend helaas. 30% productie verloren. Veel lagere opbrengst in hectoliter/hectare dan normaal, nu zo’n 24hl en normaal gesproken 34 hl. 2018 wordt 1e biodynamische jaar! 94-96
