Château Latour 2001 is a Left Bank Bordeaux blend from the Pauillac appellation, crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. This vintage reflects a classic Pauillac profile with aromas of blackcurrant, cedar and subtle earthy notes. The wine`s structure is defined by firm yet integrated tannins, indicative of the vintage`s character. One of the oldest classified growths, Château Latour has been a hallmark of excellence since the 17th century, with a vineyard that comprises 78 hectares on gravelly soils. This specific magnum format allows for slower maturation, allowing for extended cellaring potential.

Dark ruby-red. Sappy, expressive aromas of cherry, plum, minerals, woodsmoke and game, plus an exotic suggestion of baked apple. Rather subtle on the attack, then quickly expands to fill the mouth. A big, deep, very rich vintage for Lafite, unusually generous at this early stage and extremely long on the aftertaste. But went into a shell with aeration, and showed a hint of tobacco leaf vegetility. Finishing notes of coconut, woodsmoke and tobacco add flavor interest.Stephen Tanzer1st May 1998
