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

Parker om: Chateau Latour 1er Cru

t's too early to know for sure, but the 2010 Latour appears to be a huge and massive Pauillac fruit bomb from this property. With 14.4% natural alcohol, this blend of 90.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8.5% Merlot and .5% Cabernet Franc, director Frederic Engerer told me it is unlike any other wine made at this estate. Possessing abundant amounts of everything, it even eclipses the 2009 in terms of power with a lower pH and higher total acidity. Representing only 36% of the production (making it even more difficult to find than usual, as this is the smallest of the Medoc first growths), it possesses an opaque black/purple color along with an extraordinary perfume of spring flowers, blueberry, blackberry and cassis liqueurs and hints of white chocolate as well as earth intermixed with vague charcoal and truffle-like components. With unreal concentration, full-bodied power, and a precision, freshness and refined level of tannins that are something to behold, this remarkable offering is one of my personal favorites of the vintage. It will undoubtedly shut down after bottling and enjoy 50-60 years of longevity. 98-100/100

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

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...
