April 19, 2019 - 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

April 5, 2019 - 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
