Château Latour--Vintage 2001
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden case
"A brilliant offering, which should be drinkable much earlier than the blockbuster 2000, the 2001 Latour boasts an inky/ruby/purple color to the rim as well as a glorious bouquet of black currants, crushed stones, vanilla and hints of truffle and oak. A blend of 80 Cabernet Sauvignon and the balance primarily Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it reveals a sweetness on the palate that is atypical for such a young Latour. The beautiful integration of tannin, acidity, and wood is stunning. The wine flows across the palate with fabulous texture, purity and presence. This luscious, full-bodied Latour was surprisingly open-knit on the three occassions I tasted it from the bottle. However, do not mistake its aging ability, as this 2001, despite its precociousness will last 20-25 years. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2025." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, #153 (June 2004)
