Château Latour Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac 2004

The 2004 Latour is perhaps evolving slower than I expected, although it remains one of the finest Left Bank wines of the vintage. It has that quintessential graphite-scented bouquet intermixed with blackberry and cedar, although the liquorice note that I observed previously has receded. Again, there is wonderful definition. The palate is full-bodied but surprisingly more sultry than I expected, especially here where I was able to directly compare it with the other 2004 First Growths. It delivers the authority you expect from Latour, although I might be inclined just to give it another 2-3 years in bottle. Tasted September 2016.

The 2004 Latour checks in as a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and a splash of Cabernet Franc, all aged in new French oak. It shows the more elegant, silky style of the vintage, yet with plenty of Latour grandeur and depth in its ripe cassis, smoky mineral, graphite, and saddle leather aromas and flavors. It’s medium to full-bodied, impressively concentrated, and has serious length, as well as another two decades of longevity, although it’s certainly drinking beautifully today.

An outstanding example of Latour’s authority and precision, the 2004 earns exceptional mid-to-high 90s scores across critics. Deep cassis, graphite, cigar box, and iron notes are wrapped in firm, aristocratic tannins. Still youthful, it promises further evolution while already offering classic Pauillac character.

About The Producer

Located in the lush commune of Pauillac in Bordeaux, Château Latour is a beacon of winemaking fame. Boasting a prestigious First Growth rating from the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, this vineyard is a hot ticket item for wine lovers everywhere. With its focus on Cabernet Sauvignon, this winery produces robust and long-lasting wines that are a force to be reckoned with. Nestled in the southeast corner of Pauillac and bordering Saint-Julien, Château Latour is a true gem of the Médoc region. Its vineyard boasts an impressive 80% of Cabernet Sauvignon, with the remaining grapes being Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The grand vin is only made from the choicest plots surrounding the chateau, as depicted on the 1759 plan of the domaine. For those looking for a taste of Latour's signature style, but at a more accessible price point, the winery also offers Les Forts de Latour and Pauillac de Latour – both made from the vineyard's younger vines.
