This has chocolate, cedar and walnuts as well as some currant aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with some lovely fruit and juiciness. 55.8% cabernet sauvignon, 38.8% merlot and 5.4% petit verdot. Attractive now but another year or two will make it even better.

Easily the best Pauillac de Latour in recent years, showing supple tannins at five years old, textured and rippling with juice, opening to show gourmet smoked plum and blueberry fruit. Has the graphite edge of the appellation, waves of cocoa bean, liqourice and smoked earth, and the balance of 2019. The structure is already welcoming, even if the fruit young, and if you like your wines on the primary side, you can get stuck in straight away and be very happy about it - this is a buy buy buy, and a good upgrade from my initial En Primeur score. 44hl/h yield, almost double that of 2018, which no doubt helps with the juicy character. 35% new oak, with a part aged in larger-sized 300l barrels. 25% of production,

A blend of 55.8% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38.8% Merlot, and 5.4% Petit Verdot, Le Pauillac de Chateau Latour 2019 is medium to deep garnet-purple in color. It comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant notes of black cherries, blackcurrant jelly, and menthol, plus suggestions of garrigue, candied violets, and dark chocolate. The full-bodied palate is plush and oh-so-juicy, with a lively line to balance, and a fantastically intense, yet well-poised, finish. Just starting to open-out and reveal its decadent core, this is the best Pauillac de Chateau Latour since the fabulous 2016, albeit even more concentrated and powerful—a fitting reflection of Latour, if you will. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown

The 2019 Pauillac is dark, fleshy and seductive, all of which will make it an absolute joy to taste when it is eventually released in another few years' time. Richness and radiance of the vintage is on full display. This is an especially bold, luscious vintage for the Pauillac. I loved it. Antonio Galloni
