2010 Pauillac de Ch Latour
Buying options
Tasting notes
Tasted blind. Deep garnet with opaque core. Sweet, dark and charry on the nose. There’s finesse on the palate and the tannins are extremely fine, even if there is only modest flesh in the middle. Balanced and persistent nevertheless. Juicy and supple with a marked note of iron on the finish.

Latour's 2010 Pauillac de Château Latour 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.

This has to be the greatest third wine of all time, from any estate! It's soft, ripe, round and stuffed with fresh fruits, spice and earthy characteristics. It's already drinkable too.
A wine with berry, chocolate and spice character. Full body, with velvety tannins and a savory finish. It shows currant and berry. I love the texture to this. Third wine of first growth Latour. Drink or hold.
