Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Latour 1er Cru 2010

100
/100

90,5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8,5% Merlot, 0,5% hver Cabernet Franc og Petit Verdot. 14,5% alkohol, 36% af den samlede produktion gik til den store vin. Ekstremt aromatisk næse. Fyldige sorte kirsebær med cassis og brombær. Mørk chokolade, duftende, hurtig, voluminøs. Meget fin sødme. Masser af charme i munden, så kommer der fart på, igen masser af solbær sammen med sorte kirsebær. Syngende syre, polerede tanninmasser, tanninniveauet er nok højere end nogensinde før og alligevel smørblød og raffineret. Med så meget indre styrke og spænding fortjener den en plads i forreste række. Alkoholen er ikke mærkbar, er helt afbalanceret, men giver det rigtige fedt til at skabe en stor harmoni. Mindre af en blockbuster end i nogle år, mere af en fin Latour. En fornøjelse at drikke. 100/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Latour 1er Cru

The 2010 Château Latour is a monumental wine that exemplifies what greatness in Bordeaux can be. Still deep ruby/purple in color, it offers a stunning bouquet of blackcurrants, tobacco leaf, leather, and graphite. Full-bodied and deeply concentrated, it has a layered, expansive mouthfeel, building tannins, and the unmistakable class and regalness that define Latour. Just now entering the early stages of its prime, this beauty will be drinking brilliantly long after I’m gone. Drink 2025-2100.

Parker om: Chateau Latour 1er Cru

One of the perfect wines of the vintage, Frederic Engerer challenged me when I tasted the 2010 Latour at the estate, asking, “If you rate the 2009 one hundred, then how can this not be higher?” Well, the scoring system stops at 100, (and has for 34 years,) and will continue for as long as I continue to write about wine. Nevertheless, this blend of 90.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9.5% Merlot, and .5% Petit Verdot hit 14.4% natural alcohol and represents a tiny 36% of their entire production. The pH is about 3.6, which is normal compared to the 3.8 pH of the 2009, that wine being slightly lower in alcohol, hence the combination that makes it more flamboyant and accessible. The 2010 is a liquid skyscraper in the mouth, building layers upon layers of extravagant, if not over-the-top richness with its hints of subtle charcoal, truffle, blackberry, cassis, espresso and notes of toast and graphite. Full-bodied, with wonderfully sweet tannin, it is a mind-boggling, prodigious achievement that should hit its prime in about 15 years, and last for 50 to 100. 100/100

Suckling om: Chateau Latour 1er Cru

The aromas of flowers such as roses, violets and lilacs jump from the glass then turn to dark berries such as blueberries and blackberries. It's full-bodied, with velvety tannins and dense and intense with a chocolate, berry and currant character. This is juicy and rich with wood still showing a bit, but it's all coming together wonderfully. Muscular yet toned. Another perfect wine like the 2010. Try in 2022. 100/100

Decanter om: Chateau Latour 1er Cru

I get the same peony and violet aromatics here as I did in Forts de Latour. This is powerful, muscular, not even getting close to being ready. The tannins crowd in from the mid palate onwards, extremely physical in the way they make their presence felt. Behind them, if you give the wine enough time in the glass, it gives black pepper spice, pencil lead, slate and compressed earth, along with cassis, bilberry and all the tight compact dark-berried fruits you can think of. Don't even consider this for another five years at least. This is a monumental Latour and a flashing signpost for how good this vintage is in Pauillac. 100/100

Neal Martin om: Chateau Latour 1er Cru

Tasted at the chateau, my sample was decanted for almost three hours. After the fireworks on the nose of the Les Forts de Latour, the Grand Vin comes as a shock. You have to readjust your mindset – this is subtle, understated, brooding Latour. Leaving it to one side to open up, it gradually unfurls to reveal very precise black fruits and minerals. It is not as immediate as say, Margaux or Lafite, but draws you in to its charms. The aromatics are misleading. The palate is incredibly intense with mouth-gripping tannins even although the IPT is actually less than the Les Forts de Latour. It offers unbelievably intensity, an almost brutal Latour at the moment that will need 15-20 years in bottle before it becomes approachable. This will rank alongside legends such as the 1961 and 1982 – but it is a wine for the next generation, not mine. Tasted November 2012. 100/100

Det er velkendt, at Château Latours Grand Vin er en af de mest kraftfulde, fyldige, tanninholdige og koncentrerede vine i verden. Så her er blot et par ord om Château Latours andenvin: Forts de Latour er ikke en klassisk andenvin lavet af unge vinstokke, men består af omkring to tredjedele gamle...
