2005 Ch. Latour, Pauillac

Ch. Latour, Pauillac
Five minutes after you had swallowed this wine you could still taste it in its entirety. Even by Latour's lofty standards this is remarkable. This is a huge, dense closed wine packed full of cassis, cream and minerals of awesome intensity. As you might expect, the tannins here are phenomenally rich and ripe It surely has a long and glorious future ahead of it, with no sharp edges and a wonderful grace and balance. This will be one of the all time great Latours.Château Latour

Ripe, fragrant, charming. Lovely full, perfumed fruit. Lovely balance and charm. Elegant. Also wonderful length.

Ch. Latour, Pauillac
As I wrote last year, this classic effort is built for the ages, and is largely destined to be drunk by our offspring rather than anyone over the age of 50 today. Complex aromas of crushed rocks, graphite, black cherries, creme de cassis, new saddle leather, and dried mushrooms are still tightly wound. The wine is full-bodied and powerful with exceptionally high tannin combined with zesty acidity, and laser-like focus. It will require 15 or more years of cellaring. I still prefer the 2003, but administrator Frederic Engerer says this "is more Latour." Anticipated maturity: 2020-2060.
