Georges de Latour Private Reserve 2019

/100

In Rutherford / Napa ist einer DER absoluten ersten Klassiker des Napa-Valley beheimatet. André Chellistcheff, DIE Legende der Winemaker, hat mit diesem Bordeaux-Blend unzählige 1er Cru des Bordelaise in vielen Wettbewerben besiegt. Perfekte Balance und Harmonie, genialer, zurückhaltender Holzeinsatz, viel Frucht aber noch mehr Eleganz und Finesse. Extrem langlebig dazu. Ab 2019 ist der George Latour wieder da, wo er dereinst war: In der ersten Reihe. Großer Wein und zu Recht 100 Punkte und der Wein des Jahres 2022 für James Suckling!

Suckling über: Georges de Latour Private Reserve

SUCKLING WINE OF THE YEAR 2022: Wow! The aromas to this are really exceptional, with a tangerine edge to the blackcurrants, graphite, lead pencil, flowers and wet earth. It changes all the time. So expressive and refined. Full-bodied with great intensity and depth of fruit. The ultra-fine tannins display millions of layers. The texture on the palate is superb and lasts for minutes. This is the new 1974 George de Latour, which was a legend. Real Napa Valley red here. Drinkable now, to understand it, but truly great in five to six years and onwards. Benchmark.

Lastly, the Grand Vin 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Georges De Latour Private Reserve is just about pure perfection, and the fact that there are roughly 12,000 cases is incredible. Classis darker fruits (cassis, currants) as well as chocolate, leafy tobacco, and loamy earth all define the bouquet, and this full-bodied, concentrated, powerful, yet also elegant 2019 has the balance and structure to evolve for decades. It should be relatively easy to find this in the market, and you won't be disappointed.

Decanter über: Georges de Latour Private Reserve

Fragranced and richly fruited on the nose, vivid and vibrant. Smooth yet with crunchy fruit, this makes an immediate impression. Exuberant, racy and fruit forward with a sense of detail and character. I like the soft floral touches, the sweet blackcurrants and red berry elements, the chalky, minty fresh edges as well as some wild thyme and bay leaf herbal notes and a soft dusting of coffee and cocoa powder. Lots of tension still but also richness and concentration. The powdery yet also fleshy texture is so captivating and together with a mouthwatering capacity gives this wine such star power. Elegant and refined with supreme freshness and a real sense of vibrancy. That said, it's more serious than the stunning 2018, less immediately approachable - it feels cooler but with more precision. One to wait for. Amazing styling going on by winemaker Trevor Durling. This has to be one of the best value Napa Valley wines going. Ageing 20 months in French oak (95% new). More Petit Verdot in the blend than usual at 9%.
