This has aromas of black fruit, olives, wet earth, dried lavender, cloves and bark. Bitter chocolate and walnuts, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, tight-grained tannins. Structured, with great freshness and...

Showing much better in bottle than it did in barrel, the wine offers a wealth of fruit, which is best described as being regal in character. Yet, as you would expect, most of this stunner is still held in reserve...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, March 2022

(97+ points) The 2014 Latour is one of the very finest wines of a vintage that favored the northern Médoc. Mingling aromas of wild berries and cassis with hints of cigar wrapper, loamy soil, black truffles and classy new...

Wine Enthusiast, April 2018

The tannins in this fine vintage of Latour are still enormous, dominating the black currant fruit. It has spice, tannins, impressive fruit and a pure, cool character. To be released in the mid-2020s, the wine is likely to...

Wine Spectator, March 2017

This shows terrific cut and drive from the start, with mouthwatering acidity and a chiseled graphite note leading the way, backed by a core of pure cassis and blackberry preserves. Licorice snap and sweet tobacco details...

(96+ points) The 2014 Château Latour is still a baby and relatively closed and backward, offering darker, meaty black fruits, tobacco, truffly earth, and graphite on the nose. It's much more dense and structured than I...

Vinous, March 2022

The 2014 Latour has a beautifully defined bouquet with intertwined blackberry, briary, crushed stone and pencil box scents. This takes time to unfold in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with tobacco and...

The 2014 Chateau Latour, a Bordeaux blend from the renowned Pauillac region, has garnered high praise from multiple esteemed reviewers, with most scores hovering around the mid to high 90s, indicating its exceptional quality and potential longevity. This wine is a classic representation of the northern Médoc's successful 2014 vintage.

James Suckling awarded it a 97, noting its "aromas of black fruit, olives, wet earth, dried lavender, cloves, and bark," complemented by "bitter chocolate and walnuts." He highlights its "firm, tight-grained tannins" and advises trying it from 2024. Similarly, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate also rated it 97, praising its "wild berries and cassis" mingled with "cigar wrapper, loamy soil, black truffles and classy new oak." It is described as "full-bodied, rich and concentrated" with "prodigious longevity."

Jeb Dunnuck offered a slightly lower score at 96, but still commends the wine for being "much more dense and structured" than expected, with "darker, meaty black fruits, tobacco, truffly earth, and graphite." He predicts it will benefit from "another 7-8 years of bottle age" and have "over 3 decades of overall longevity."

Vinous' Neal Martin characterized the wine as "superb," giving it a 95 and remarking on its "beautifully defined bouquet" and "cohesive" nature with "tobacco and graphite-infused black fruit." Jane Anson's score of 96 highlights the wine's "depth, power and sheer confidence," emphasizing its "clarity, grip and poise."

Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast both awarded it 97, with the former noting its "terrific cut and drive" and "chiseled graphite note," while the latter pointed out the "enormous" tannins and "impressive fruit."

In summary, the 2014 Chateau Latour is celebrated for its elegance, structure, and potential for aging, with reviewers consistently praising its balanced composition and complex flavor profile.
