Château Latour – New Releases
Latour's 2010 Pauillac is a huge overachiever and shows just how compelling this vintage is. The aromatics alone are beguiling, but it is the wine's impeccable balance and class that are most impressive today. Hints of leather, earthiness, tobacco, licorice and dark cherry are nicely layered into the silky finish. The 2010 is an absolutely delicious wine to drink now and over the next decade or so. 92/Drinking window: 2016-2026.
These are the latest releases from Château Latour. In 2011, Latour announced they would no longer sell wines en primeur, but would instead offer customers vintages the estate deemed ready to drink. I tasted these wines on visits to the château in July 2015 and April 2016.
