Château Latour Le Pauillac de Chateau Latour Red Bordeaux Blend 2019
100 points - limited Chateau Latour is one of our favorite wines from Bordeaux every vintage. The Paillac de Latour is ne of the best buys from one of the top Chateaux in Bordeaux. Limited. 94 Points James Suckling: "This has chocolate, cedar and walnuts as well as some currant aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with some lovely fruit and juiciness." 93 Points Vinous: "The 2019 Pauillac is a serious wine. Dark cherry, plum, gravel, incense, licorice and pomegranate are all dialed up in this wonderfully deep, fleshy Pauillac. Deep and resonant, with fine balance, the 2019 captures all the natural radiance of the year. This is really quite stellar and delicious." This generous, fruity wine is an excellent introduction to the family of wines produced by Château Latour. It can be enjoyed after four to five years of ageing, and will continue to improve for several more years. Blend: 55.8% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38.8% Merlot, and 5.4% Petit Verdot. Tasting Notes: The 2019 Pauillac de Latour is characterized by its harmony and balance. Thanks to favorable conditions, the berries ripened in the best possible manner and the grapes remained healthy right up to harvest. A typical Pauillac with remarkably pure aromas of blackberries and fresh plums with spicy notes and hints of graphite. Hedonistic yet well-balanced and very quaffable, its crunchy fruit and fresh acidity accompany the soft, velvety tannins.

I opened the 2019 vintage, a mere baby. I know. Pauillac is home to most of the first growths: Latour, Mouton-Rothschild and Lafite-Rothschild. This is a very well-made wine. It feels a smidge more new-world styled, fruit leading, but is so ballasted by the earth, the pencil lead, the shining wet-rock mineral notes. The nose is blackcurrant and blue plums even, with slight pepper and roses. The palate is so smooth—sanded down tannins. Granted, this had barely entered open-worthy territory, but it is showing a lot already and with air even more—the florals start to enter the picture. The already well-integrated tannins get silkier. This is an EXCELLENT wine. Interestingly, the Overture was a Napa touching on Bordeaux sensibilities, while the Pauillac was a Bordeaux wine touching on Napa vibes!
