Château Latour (Ex Château) 2013 (Double-Magnum)

Château Latour ist ein legendäres Weingut in Pauillac, das zu den grössten Weinen der Welt zählt. Raffinesse und Tiefe haben den Ruhm dieses grossen Rotwein begründet, der problemlos ein halbes Jahrhundert lang im Keller gelagert werden kann. Die Assemblage wird von Cabernet Sauvignon dominiert (oft um die 90%) und von Merlot, Cabernet Franc und Petit Verdot ergänzt. Der Ausbau findet in neuen Fässern statt.

Wineadvocate

Composed of 95.2% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4.4% Merlot and 0.4% Petit Verdot, the 2013 Latour offers an open-knit, fragrant nose of licorice, sandalwood, rose petals and cigar box over a core of Black Forest cake, stewed plums, mulberries and redcurrant jelly, plus a waft of cast-iron pan. The elegantly styled, medium-bodied palate (13% alcohol) fills the mouth with intense red and black berry preserves layers, framed by evolved, soft-textured tannins and well-knit freshness, finishing long and spicy. This vintage does not have the power and backbone of an outstanding vintage of Latour, but it is aging gracefully and, still possessing a lot of discernible fruit with plenty of tertiary pizazz, is absolutely delicious to drink right now. This sweet-spot stage is likely to continue for another 5-7 years, before the wine plateaus at a maturity peak and holds for a further 15+ years. - LP 03/2021
