| Tasting Note | : | The 2017 Latour is a blend of 92.1% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7.8% Merlot and 0.1% Petit Verdot with 13.3% alcohol and an IPT of 66. Deep garnet-purple in color, it starts off a little broody before exploding from the glass with powerful scents of ripe blackcurrants, blackberry pie and preserved black cherries plus touches of cedar chest, fenugreek, cumin seed and charcoal with emerging wafts of violets, dark chocolate, star anise and fertile loam. Medium-bodied, this may be one of the most elegant, great Latours ever, revealing layer upon layer of fresh, crunchy black fruits with a vast array of exotic spice and floral nuances, framed by super ripe, super fine-grained tannins, finishing very long with mineral sparks coming through. This is so nuanced and perfumed that I imagine, in 50 years, this wine could be mistaken for a great red Burgundy. Lisa Perrotti-Brown |
| Additional Notes | : | • First release of Latour 2017 & Les Forts de Latour 2018, since Château Latour has withdrawn itself from the Primeurs from the 2012 vintage. • Follows the release of Latour 2015 last March, the 2016 vintage being released next year. • A perfect opportunity to grab a superb vintage before the next four highly anticipated vintages to be released (2016, 2018, 2019, 2020) |
