Description
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 winery covers 60 hectares and grows approximately 78% cabernet sauvignon, 17% merlot and some cabernet franc and petit verdot.
This is a so-called Late Release from Chateau Latour - The wine has never left the Château before, and has been stored in the cellars of the Château under the best possible conditions for almost 8 years. The year of release is stated on each bottle with a special back label. The 2009 only came onto the market in 2018.
Deep garnet in color, the 2009 Latour is youthful with bold aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry and warm plum, plus nuances of cedarwood, anise, meat juices, truffles and tapenade with a hint of churned black earth. Full, concentrated and powerful on the palate, it has a very strong frame of super ripe, grainy tannins and fantastic freshness, with a very long and wonderfully mineral finish. Still in its infancy—this wine takes time!. This is a so-called Late Release from Chateau Latour - the wine is then released again years later from the cellars of Latour 100/100 Parker and Suckling.
