Heiner Lobenberg über:
Chateau Latour 1er Cru 2012

97–98
/100

Lobenberg: Der Wein wird nicht mehr en-primeur angeboten, sondern kommt erst nach 5-7 Jahren auf den Markt. Dichte, grandiose, rot- und schwarzfruchtige Nase. Hohe Intensität. Kokos mit Schokolade, Kaffee. Satte Brombeere und Cassis. Auch im Mund diese enorm hohe aromatische Dichte. Keinerlei Bitterstoffe. Die biodynamische Arbeit für Latour selbst macht sich bezahlt. Die Trauben sind ohne jegliche Fäulnis. Latour ist, wie so oft bei den 1er Crus, der Primus inter Pares auf dem Level eines Haut Brion, vielleicht sogar darüber liegend. Auf jeden Fall Lafite und Mouton deutlich überlegen. 97-98/100

Parker über: Chateau Latour 1er Cru

-- Parker: Tasted blind at the 2012 Southwold tasting, the 2012 Latour put in a deeply impressive showing. It has a precise bouquet: graphite-infused black fruit, hints of iodine and a light marine influence—shucked oyster shell and Japanese nori. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, well-judged acidity, quite sensual and harmonious with seductive purity on the finish. This possesses exquisite precision and detail that evinces a wine of genuine class. Of course, perhaps this tasting note is irrelevant for the moment, at least until the Grand Vin is released onto the market. It will be intriguing to re-taste it when it does see the light of day. Tasted January 2012. 97/100

Tim Atkin über: Chateau Latour 1er Cru

-- Tim Atkin: All of the first growths made very good wines in 2012, especially given the growing season, but Latour was the star turn. What’s so impressive about the wine is that the château has allowed the vintage to speak, rather than imposing a style upon it. That’s why the wine is so light and poised, with a grace that is almost Pinot Noir-like. Silky, refreshing and aromatic, with subtle notes of red fruits and pomegranate and medium-weight tannins. Very graceful.97/100

Jane Anson über: Chateau Latour 1er Cru

-- Jane Anson: This sets out its stall with confidence. Fennel and mandarin peel aromatics, followed by cassis, blackberry, liquorice bud, pencil lead and graphite that maintain grip and momentum through the palate. Tannins remain firm at 10 years old but there is a gourmet feel to the fruit and this is a vintage of Latour that will be ready to drink relatively young. Harvest September 24 to October 16, under rainy conditions that turned the concentration from impenetrable to a more approachable style - an impression I have got every time I have tasted this wine since its release. 97/100

Galloni über: Chateau Latour 1er Cru

-- Galloni: The 2012 Latour…wine of the vintage? It has to be a serious contender. In this blind taste-off between the five First Growths, its quality shines through. With exceptional delineation on the nose, it just oozes class with precise black fruit, crushed stone, mint and light sous-bois. The palate is perfectly balanced with a fine line of acidity, as precise as a Swiss watch, gently building to a finish that delivers the structure one expects from a Latour. Sheer class. Tasted blind in Bordeaux. 97/100

Latour

Die Tatsache, dass der Grand Vin von Château Latour zu den kräftigsten, gehaltvollsten, tanninreichsten und konzentriertesten Weinen der Welt zählt, dürfte hinlänglich bekannt sein. Daher hier nur einige Worte zum Zweitwein des Château Latour: der Forts de Latour ist kein klassischer Zweitwein aus...
