Description
AND FIRST - EXPECTED DECEMBER 8, 2023
The Château Latour is one of the most famous wine estates in the world. It is located in Bordeaux in Pauillac. It is located on the border with the Saint-Julien wine region. Château Latour is classified as Premier Grand Cru Classé according to the Bordeaux wine classification system of 1855. The estate covers 60 hectares and grows approximately 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and some Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
A blend of 84.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 0.5% Petit Verdot, the 2011 Latour represents just 34% of the harvest. It reached 13.1% natural alcohol. It is one of the most convincing wines of the vintage, with a dense ruby/purple color and a sweet, open personality with ripe tannin, excellent intensity, good purity and harmony, a medium to full mouthfeel and plenty of milled flavour. rock, floral and black and blue fruit notes alongside hints of ink and forest floor. This beautifully rich Latour will be surprisingly drinkable within 4-5 years, and could easily age for twenty years or more. Moreover, Latour harvested relatively late for the Medoc. The harvest only started on September 12 and ended on September 26.

A blend of 84.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 0.5% Petit Verdot, the 2011 Latour represents only 34% of the crop. It hit 13.1% natural alcohol. One of the vintage's most compelling wines, it possesses a dense ruby/purple color as well as a sweet, open-knit personality with ripe tannin, superb intensity, good purity and harmony, a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, and lots of crushed rock, floral and black as well as blue fruit notes in addition to hints of ink and forest floor. This beautifully rich, savory Latour will be surprisingly drinkable in 4-5 years, and should age easily for two decades or more. By the way, Latour harvested relatively late for the Medoc, beginning the harvest on September 12 and finishing on September 26.

CHÂTEAU LATOUR PAUILLAC 2011
Saturday, March 31, 2012
Country : France
Region : Bordeaux
Vintage : 2011
Score : 95-96
A Latour with a steely backbone and a savory character. Blueberries and currants with hints of violets. Full body, with a long and racy finish. The texture is very tight and racy. Classy for the vintage.

From: The Comedown: Bordeaux 2011 Ten-Years-On (Apr 2022)
The 2011 Latour is well-defined on the nose with blackberry, bilberry, cedar, hoisin and a touch of mint. There is impressive intensity here, regal and convincing. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins. There is a solid backbone to this wine, plenty of freshness, quite powerful towards the finish with superb persistence. Wonderful. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.
