Château Latour (Ex Château) 2006

Château Latour est un domaine mythique de Pauillac qui compte parmi les plus grands vins du monde. Raffinement et profondeur ont fait la renommée de ce grand vin de garde qui pourra s'épanouir un demi-siècle en cave. L'assemblage est dominé par le cabernet sauvignon (souvent aux environs de 90%) et complété par le merlot, le cabernet franc et le petit verdot. L'élevage prend place en barriques neuves.

Not an outstanding vintage overall for Bordeaux, 2006 had the potential to be very good. Things got off to a pretty impressive start in Pauillac this year, and then it all went a bit pear-shaped toward the end with a cool, rainy August and late September.

Vinous 95

Vinous

Bright full ruby. Slightly stern aromas of cassis, graphite, licorice, incense and flowers. Then dense and penetrating, with terrific energy to the subtle dark fruit, licorice and mineral flavors. There's a coolness to the fruit that makes this wine dramatically different from the Forts de Latour. Finishes with big, building tannins and a powerful sense of structure. A fairly large-scaled Latour but not particularly sweet in the early going. In fact, this went into a shell with 24 hours in the recorked bottle. - ST 05/2009
