Château Latour--Vintage 2000
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden case
Tasting note: The 2000 Latour (a relatively abundant 14,000 cases compared to what they produced in 2009, 2008, or 2005) is packed and stacked. The extremely rich, black/purple colour to the rim is followed by a wine with some subtle smoke, loads of minerals, a hint of vanilla, and plenty of crème de cassis as well as roasted meat and a slight scorched earth character. Broad, savoury, and rich, the wine seems to be about 5 years away from full maturity and should drink well for at least 40-50 more years. A great effort, probably eclipsed only by 2003 and 2009.
