91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot. New wine aroma of fresh barrels mixed with black olive, sea water, paine grille,. Stuffed to the brim with dark fruit, blueberry, blackberry, herbs and Asian spice. Full, round, and well textured with an astonishing mega-long finish when the succulent ripe tannins appear from nowhere and proceed to carry the wine over the goal line.Very well done! May require some patience but it's a beauty. Left Bank Wine of the Vintage.

The 2007 Latour (the first wine made in the newly renovated cellars) exhibits a dense ruby/purple color as well as a sweet, expansive bouquet of black fruits and spring flowers interwoven with a striking minerality. The wine's dense, medium to full-bodied flavors are surprisingly evolved, with soft tannins, an ample, generous mouthfeel, and an endearing texture. Undoubtedly one of the longest lived wines of the vintage, the 2007 Latour should last for two decades or more. 92+

Good bright ruby-red. Rather backward nose hints at cassis, black cherry, shoe polish, graphite, minerals and spices. Sweet, broad and rich, but with enticing fresh minerality giving energy to the rather full-bodied middle palate. The wine's cassis fruit is complicated by an almost decadent floral element. Finishes perfumed and very long, with wonderfully lush, supple, fine-grained tannins.

Offers floral and berry notes, with currant and licorice. Full-bodied, with a sweet core of fruit. There's silky tannins and a fresh, fruity finish. Reserved and balanced. Best after 2012.
