Château Latour Magnum 2009 is a First Growth Bordeaux from the Pauillac appellation. The blend consists of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Merlot and displays a deep garnet appearance, with nuanced aromas of blackcurrant, cigar box and hints of earthiness. On the palate, it reveals a dense structure featuring layers of ripe fruit and oak spice, supported by firm tannins and a mineral undertone.
100 Jane Anson
Unmistakable Latour in an exceptional vintage, so you should expect a muscular, sculpted and confident wine that is bursting with Pauillac character, showcasing the brilliance of this clay-gravel location overlooking the Gironde Estuary. Still just emerging from its primary stage but just about ready to drink if you give it long enough in a carafe - although it will be even better with another decade. Think blackberry, bilberry, cassis, charcoal, slate, sage, incense, cigar box, grilled cumin and a ton of black chocolate shavings. 100% new oak for ageing, Penelope Godefroy vineyard director, Frederic Engerer director. Tasted a few times this year, and here I am adding to the two notes that are already on this site, one at 100 points, and one at 98 points.Jane Anson10th October 2024
100 The Wine Independent
A blend of 91.3% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8.7% Merlot, the opaque garnet-black colored 2009 Latour prances from the glass with showy notes of black cherry preserves, blueberry pie, and black currant jelly, leading to an undercurrent of camphor, clove oil, and cinnamon toast. The medium to full-bodied palate is decadently stacked with black and blue fruit layers, framed by super-plush tannins and jaw-dropping tension, culminating in a fragrant finish that just goes on and on. It’s flat-out delicious right now but promises to reward the patient.Lisa Perrotti-Brown14th March 2024
98 Vinous
The 2009 Latour has an open and generous bouquet: a mixture of red and black fruit and touches of graphite and loam. This vintage displays a light marine/brine influence. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity, a firm grip and superb balance. This is very focused, with impressive salinity on the finish that lingers nicely. This is an extraordinarily beautiful Latour. Tasted blind from double magnum at a 20-year retrospective at the château.Neal Martin7th February 2024

Very, very dark. Blackish crimson. Ripe blackcurrant fruit. Just a slightly sour note on the end but very intense, almost raw. Very dramatic. Drying finish. Energy.  Very, very youthful for the moment. Favourite of the group. (JR)
