Limited. 93 Points James Suckling: "This is quite chunky and fruity, with plums, berries, ash and hot stones on the nose and palate. It's full and flavorful. A juicy and intense red. Drink and enjoy." 92 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2020 Château Latour Pauillac is clearly outstanding, possessing an undeniable hint of Latour-like class and style. Juicy red and black currants, smoked tobacco, graphite, and lead pencil nuances all shine here, and it's medium to full-bodied, has a pure, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and nicely integrated acidity. It's a beautiful Pauillac that will keep for two decades." 92 Points Lisa Perrotti-Brown: "The 2020 Le Pauillac de Chateau Latour is a blend of 53% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it springs from the glass with vivacious notes of stewed blackberries, raspberry coulis, and preserved plums, leading to a savory undercurrent of tapenade, Provence herbs, and Sichuan pepper. The medium-bodied palate is elegant and classic with loads of soft-spoken savory layers and a firm, grainy texture, offset by refreshing acidity, finishing long and ferrous. So good." 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 2020 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.
