Description
The Château Latour 2010 is hailed as one of the greatest expressions of this legendary estate, demonstrating unparalleled complexity and power. Scoring a perfect 100 points from Decanter, James Suckling, and Wine Advocate, this vintage is described as a monumental wine with a deep, dark color and a dense, muscular frame. It features an extraordinary aromatic profile with notes of black pepper, pencil lead, slate, cassis, and bilberry. The wine’s tannins are notably robust yet refined, promising an exceptional aging potential.
The 2010 vintage is a blend of 90.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9.5% Merlot, and a touch of Petit Verdot, contributing to its rich, layered texture and intricate flavors. Despite its current intensity and youthful tightness, it is expected to unfold into an even more impressive wine over the next decade. Critics highlight its monumental structure, impressive length, and the exceptional quality of its fruit. With its opulent profile and remarkable aging potential, the 2010 Château Latour is a quintessential example of what makes this First Growth a benchmark in Bordeaux winemaking.
