 100/100 Parker: legendary vintage

• Tasting : Lisa Perrotti-Brown
• When to drink this wine : 2029 - 2090
• Opinion : " Give the opaque purple and black-hued 2018 Latour a spin and there's an eruption of deep, powerful, molten black fruits - blackcurrant jam, boysenberry and blueberry compote - followed by sparks of liquorice, Indian spices, Sichuan pepper, rose oil and tree bark, as well as smells of cast-iron skillet and pencil shavings. The palate is big, full-bodied and very rich from the outset, but it has a deliciously elaborate structure, with fine-grained tannins and fantastic freshness, which help to contain and channel the many, many layers of earthiness, culminating in a supernova of minerals and exotic spices that go on and on. A hallucinatory paradox, this Latour so clearly evokes time and place, conflict and triumph, energy and elegance; think of it not so much as a wine as a liquid telling of history. Like many 2018s, it's delicious now, but not to give it 8-10 years in bottle would be to miss the point. It will continue to age for as long as any of us alive today can imagine."

 TERROIR

The majority of Château Latour's vineyards are located on gravelly hilltops overlooking the Gironde estuary from 12 to 16 meters. The fortunate combination of "Gironde, layers of gravel on the surface and clay in depth" offers the terroir of Château Latour a singularity that few sites can boast.

 SERVICE 

Château Latour is served at a temperature of 15°C, in a red wine glass of the "Bordeaux" type. The ideal quantity is 15 cl. To control the temperature of the wine you can use a wine thermometer. Simply plunge it into a glass filled to 1/3 of the wine to be served.

 FOOD AND WINE PAIRING

Château Latour can be served with aperitifs, starters, main courses or cheeses. It will accompany for example a nice piece of grilled beef but also mushrooms such as pancakes or truffled starters. For the cheese, prefer a cheese of character to counterbalance the tense perfumes of the nectar.
