Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Latour 1er Cru 2005

100
/100

Ekstremt mørk rubinrød med sorte refleksioner. Kraftig næse, men stadig ret behersket. Meget harmoni og fin sødme også her. I munden minder den meget om Les Forts de Chateau Latour, men med meget mere tryk. Rige tanniner, men fuldstændig poleret. Udstråler meget god harmoni. Igen lidt californisk stil. Vinens enorme tæthed med stor finesse er imponerende. Vinen minder meget om 1982, bestemt en topværdi i årgangen. Måske ikke helt så voldsom som Lafite, men en enorm vin. 100/100.

Parker om: Chateau Latour 1er Cru

The colossal 2005 Latour (44% of the total production) is a wine for the ages. A blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot, it possesses the highest alcohol of recent vintages. Different both structurally and texturally from the extraordinary 2003 (which I tend to prefer, although Frederic Engerer clearly disagrees), the black/purple-hued 2005 exhibits high tannin, prodigious concentration, unbelievable purity, amazing freshness and vibrancy, and almost surreal definition and nuances for such a young wine. It is a huge, fresh, backward yet incredibly pure effort that represents a modern day classic, but don’t expect the opulence and exotic sweetness of the 2003. It will close down after bottling, and require at least a decade of cellaring before consuming. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2050+. 100/100

Suckling om: Chateau Latour 1er Cru

A very complex nose of lavender, currants, spices, and hot stones. Full and dense on the palate, with a very tight structure. The tannins have a perfect polish to their density, and the finish is very intense, with wonderful fruit and truffle character. This turns almost decadent, with tremendous energy and a constantly changing profile. This is a very challenging wine to get to know, please leave this for at least ten years. Pull the cork in 2015.100/100

Galloni om: Chateau Latour 1er Cru

The 2005 Latour was mind-blowingly profound in two recent tastings for this report. Deep and sensual to the core, the 2005 is utterly captivating. All the elements are so seamlessly put together. Graphite, crème de cassis, licorice, dark spice and lavender infuse the 2005 with so much energy. More than anything else, though, the 2005 is a Latour of texture and resonance. Even after several hours, the 2005 is fresh and full of energy. Wines like this are just life affirming. That's about all I can really say. Tasted two times. 100/100

Wine Enthusiast om: Chateau Latour 1er Cru

A great wine, the summation of a great vintage in Bordeaux. The core of richness, the dense, bone-dry tannins, the black currants, red berries and black plum skins are the elements, but it's the way they have been integrated that makes this such an impressive wine. There is great elegance as well, a fabulous counterpoint to such power. Cellar for at least 15 years, but this will keep forever 100/100
