  Dark in color, the fruit profile is equally dark with its blackberries, black currants, aged, Cuban cigars, flowers, tobacco leaf, orange rind and black cherries. Finesse balanced with power, and length. Purity meshed with elegance, and strength. It takes only sip to declare its character, which is its layers of depth, regal austerity and refinement. There is a diamond like exterior to the fruit, delivering a modern classic-style that is a slightly austere, cool, sensuous and powerful style of Latour. There is ample concentration of fruit, with firm tannins and a seamless finish packed with currants and orange rind that keeps on going, well past the 60-second mark. It might not be for sale for a decade. But, if you are a fan of Latour, when this comes up for sale, grab it, as it represents everything great about Chateau Latour! The wine is a blend of 92.45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7.4% Merlot and .015% Petit Verdot. 14.19% ABV, 3.85 pH. Harvest September 6 - September 24. The wine represents less than 39% of the harvest. Yields were 30.6 hectoliters per hectare. Last, but not least, in case I was not clear about how good this wine is, not only is a candidate for wine of the vintage, but it competes with any of the best vintages of Latour ever produced! Drink from 2032-2065. 99-100 Pts.

  99 vvPunkte / Viel Tiefgründigkeit in diesem Bouquet, bezaubernd, hier strahlt die Finesse schon aus dem Glas, die Floralität ist beeindruckend, die Frucht wirkt klar und rein, das ist hochkomplex und zeigt viel Noblesse. Im Gaumen straff, vertikal, ungemein frisch, mit knackiger Frucht, ausgzeichneten Tanninen, messerscharf, ein Wein mit ungemein viel Druck und dennoch einer Leichtigkeit, die man selten findet, grandiose Qualität, perfekte Harmonie. Das ist in meinen Augen ein ganz grosser Latour. 2030 bis 2060+ (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2023 auf Château Latour) #primeurs22 www.vvWine.ch

  En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Six (Bordeaux): Polished, a little woody note, touch of mint, earthy notes. Medium plus intensity acidity, chewy tannins concentrated black fruits are a little non-delineated. Oaky flavours here as well. Big but balanced. Needs a lot of time but quite oaky flavoured on the finish. Oof.

  One of the top First Growths (with Lafite) and wines of the vintage. This wine is also one of the best ever made. Need to hope by the time of release they hold a modest increase. Spectacular wine.
