Château Latour
Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend
Pauillac, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
2007 vintage. From magnum and tasted 1.5 hours after being decanted. Herbal (but not mint) and woodsy nose. Medium body. Tons of thrusters at full power initially but the dark cherry, plum and baking chocolate notes were the only remaining flavors after the leap to hyperspace. That expected and (in)famous Latour power definitely in the picture but without any other stars in the cast to make this worthy of Oscar consideration. Not a top notch vintage, yet it seems like this effort is on a giant plateau and could remain there for a decade-easy. Likely would have benefited from an additional hour or two of air time but not enough to move the needle significantly…maybe to 9.3.

Feb 11th, 2023Might have been too young to drink. No decanter. Just opened the bottle for 30 min. Took a little bit of time in glass to finish it's bloom. Great taste but short of my expectations for a grand cru
