Jane Anson: 98 Punkte 
"Tobacco, liqourice and graphite all spread on toasted sandalwood, cedar, gunsmoke, cassis, black truffle, bilberry, crushed rocks and incense. The tannins here are very much slate and pumice stone, you feel the salt scrape, the length and persistance, and the oh-so-slow unrolling of pleasure. This has graceful depths and floral aromatics alongside Pauillac muscles and is a stellar Latour that needs another three or four years of cellaring to really soften. Overall yield of just under 45hl/h, unusual as the average yield at Latour is closer to 35hl/h. 100% new oak for ageing, 36% of overall production." (12/2025)

"Dark blackcurrants with smokey tobacco, liquorice and slate. Cool straight away, fresh but so perfectly mouthfilling, not sweet like 2020, this is more cooling and fresh, blue fruit, black cherry, fleshy like fruit skin texture. Dark, I love the 2019s because they're more controlled and serious but so nuanced. To me this is how a great Pauillac can taste, serious, deep, classic Cabernet markers, lots of minerality in the flint and stoney aspects, strong tannins and a powerful, muscular structure with minty sides. An amazing Pauillac, this is really my style. Still so full of concentration and life, this will last forever." - Georgina Hindle (02/2026) Falstaff: 100 Punkte "Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Zarte florale Nuancen nach kandierten Veilchen, frisches Brombeerkonfit, feine Kräuterwürze, ein Hauch von Edelholz, kandierte Orangenzesten. Saftig, süße Textur, reife Herzkirschen und Pflaumen, straffe Tannine, finessenreich strukturiert, angenehme Nougatnote im Abgang, mineralisch und frisch, zeigt bereits große Länge, saliner Abgang, wird von weiterer Flaschenreife nur profitieren, große Zukunft." - Peter Moser (02/2022)

"Dunkle Frucht, Weihnachtsgewürze, dunkler Tabak, schwarze Oliven, Backpflaumen, Kaminfeuer; dichter, reiffruchtiger Gaumen, fast schon zwei Mund voll Wein, opulent, mit reifen Gerbstoffen und fast schon einem toskanischen Charakter, wird am mittleren Gaumen schlanker, die Säure stützt, verhindert Schwerfälligkeit; im Abgang von erhabener Länge. Ein fast schon exotischer Latour, der erstaunlich zugänglich ist." - Adrian van Velsen

"Der 2019er tritt in eine Phase der Anmut und Entfaltung ein, in der er nichts mehr zu beweisen hat, sondern nur noch zu erleben. Noten von Graphit und Zigarrenkiste gehen Nuancen von Brombeeren, Cassis und Minze voraus, gefolgt von einem Hauch von Süßholz. Der Wein ist leicht cremig im Auftakt und überzeugt durch seinen eleganten, gelassenen, geradlinigen Verlauf, bei dem Kraft und Finesse die besten Freunde der Welt sind und Tiefe und Charme daran erinnern, dass sie oft dank des anderen großartig sind! Ein Latour, der bereits jetzt genossen werden kann, aber meiner Meinung nach vor allem zeigt, dass alles in Ordnung ist und dass es richtig ist, weiter zu warten. Ein Latour von großer Eleganz, der an seine Überlegenheit in der Verbindung von Subtilität und Fülle erinnert und das Zeug dazu hat, viele Jahrzehnte zu überdauern … wenn man ihm die Zeit dazu lässt!"

The 2019 Latour is every bit as impressive as it has always been. Silky and caressing on the palate, with exceptional balance, the 2019 has so much going on. Dark red fruit, new leather, spice and a kick of blood orange are some of the notes that build in the glass, but ultimately the 2019 impresses most with its textural finesse. There was a bit of rain during harvest, but that does not appear to have been much of an issue. The 2019 is a quintessentially modern Latour, a wine that deftly marries power with elegance. Yields came in at 45 hectoliters per hectare, quite a bit higher than the long-term average of 34 hectoliters per hectare.

Classic Pauillac darker currants, smoky tobacco, spicy wood, damp earth, and graphite all define the 2019 Château Latour, a ripe and approachable Latour that has more accessibility than many vintages while still possessing quintessential Latour character and depth. Blended from 92.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot and aged 18 months in new French oak, it's medium to full-bodied with a round, layered mouthfeel, beautiful, almost velvety tannins, and a tremendous finish. I'd happily drink a bottle today (don't tell anyone), yet it's going to benefit from 5-7 years of bottle age and keep for 50 years or more in fine form. Drink 2031-2081. (03/2026)

Composed of 92.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7.5% Merlot, the 2019 Latour is deep garnet-purple in color. It comes barreling out of the glass with powerful notes of blackcurrant jelly, blackberry pie, and plum preserves, followed by suggestions of pencil shavings, cast-iron pan, and charcoal. The medium to full-bodied palate is exquisitely constructed with a myriad of very fine layers, supported by ripe, grainy tannins and beautiful tension, finishing epically long and mineral-laced. It's still very tightly wound and will require at least 5 to 7 more years in cellar, then should age gracefully for a good 50-years+. (05/2023)

The 2019 Latour is a profound wine in the making, and it will surely emerge as one of the most long-lived wines of the vintage, as well as one of the greatest. Unwinding in the glass with scents of rich cassis fruit, English walnuts, cigar wrapper, black truffle, loamy soil and violets, it’s full-bodied, layered and muscular, with huge depth at the core, ripe tannins and lively acids, concluding with a long, seemingly interminable finish. Checking in at 14.1% alcohol, this prodigious Latour will require two decades to hit its stride, but it will be more than worth the wait.
