Descrição

Estamos perante um dos grandes vinhos clássicos da história. O Château Latour está situado no coração do Médoc, a cerca de 50 quilómetros a noroeste de Bordéus, num terroir privilegiado a poucos metros do estuário do rio Gironda. Este enclave dotou a vinha da sua conhecida riqueza geológica e climática. No seu coupage dominado pela Cabernet sauvignon, é possível saborear a profundidade, a elegância e a sedosidade elevadas à sua máxima expressão. Sem dúvida, uma referência que transcende o plano da organolepsia para se tornar uma experiência inigualável.

Avaliação dos peritos

The Wine Advocate:

The 2010 Latour is deep garnet in color, and—WOW—it erupts from the glass with powerful crème de cassis, Black Forest cake and blackberry pie scents plus intense sparks of dried roses, cigar boxes, fragrant earth and smoked meats with aniseed and crushed rocks wafts. Full-bodied, concentrated and oh-so-decadent in the mouth, it has a firm, grainy texture and lovely freshness carrying the rich, opulent fruit to an epically long finish. It is incredibly tempting to drink now, but I suspect this hedonic experience isn't a scratch on the mind-blowing, otherworldly secrets this time capsule will have to reveal given another 7-10 years in bottle and continuing over the following fifty years++.

James Suckling:

The aromas of flowers such as roses, violets and lilacs jump from the glass then turn to dark berries such as blueberries and blackberries. It's full-bodied, with velvety tannins and dense and intense with a chocolate, berry and currant character. This is juicy and rich with wood still showing a bit, but it's all coming together wonderfully. Muscular yet toned. Another perfect wine like the 2010. Try in 2022.

Wine Enthusiast:

Stern, almost severe initially, this great wine takes time to show its immense fruit power. Black currant and blackberry notes are packed into the wine, along with an impressive array of spices from new wood that gives a more exotic element. At the end, though, it has a fine, structured sense of proportion. Obviously for aging over decades, so don't drink before 2022. — Roger Voss
