Tasting Notes

95
The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 14 Mar 24
The 2008 Latour is a blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 0.75% Cabernet Franc, and 0.25% Petit Verdot. It reveals a deep garnet-brick color, with broody opening notes of tar, underbrush, and dusty soil, giving way to an evocative core of baked plums, warm cassis, and anise. The medium-bodied palate features impressive vibrancy and freshness with fine-grained tannins and a long, savory finish.
Drinking Date: 2024 - 2048

Vinous Neal Martin - 07 Feb 24
The 2008 Latour has a fragrant and floral bouquet with blueberry and blackberry fruit, violet and pressed iris petals, almost Margaux-like in style. The palate is medium-bodied with touches of brown spice on the entry. There's a good definition here. Graphite notes appear toward a finish that tapers a little, giving away that it comes from a trickier growing season than others. Tasted blind from double magnum at a 20-year retrospective at the château.
Drinking Date: 2025 - 2055
