Nez d’abord sur l’iode et le graphite, puis Bergamote et fruits noirs. Attaque splendide de velouté, presque sucrée sans l’être vraiment. Grande matière, belle tension. Du fond, de la race. Vraiment très beau.

Unripe blackcurrant, blackberry, crème de cassis, cedar, liquorice and spice. It was quite difficult to discern this second wine from the first wine Chateau Latour. Wine was dense and still youthful. Enjoyable to drink now and at least three decades of aging potential.

A fabulous wine, just coming into its window. Amazing floral nose bursting from the glass. The length goes on and on and. Lots of drinking pleasure here

Extraordinary. Drank with friends following a 60 minute decant.
Fully mature dark ruby with a flirtatious nose of dark fruits, mocha, spice and berries
Easily First or Second Growth quality. Everybody was astounded
10-15 years of delicious drinking ahead

Wow so young and concentrated. Drank over past month using Coravin so did not decant properly. Blackish crimson color, very dense wine. On the nose graphite, black currants, perfumed cassis, leather and cigar box. Very powerful entry on the palate, lots of energy, acidity and backbone signaling more than 3 decades cellaring potential ahead of this wine. Beautifully crafted, tannic but solid fruits and balance shading these tannins and a long spicy dark red berries finish. Way too young but so promising. Score definitely to go up from here!
