In the glass, the crimson color of the wine is deep and intense. The nose is elegant, combining both floral and fruity notes. In the mouth, the wine reveals a suave and fleshy texture, yet remains delicate with much promise. The finale is powerful and complex. An incredibly lengthy and structured Chateau Latour. Blend : 84. 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 0. 5% Petit Verdot97 Points - Wine Enthusiast
Big tannins and impressive fruits are the hallmarks of this impressive wine. It is also subtle, not showing all its flavors at once, hiding beneath tannins and structure. For this fruity vintage, it shows a strong sense of direct, solid structure, only allowing the strong black plum and berry flavors to come through slowly. Cellar Selection96 Points - Wine SpectatorThis has a gorgeous core of steeped plum, boysenberry and black currant coulis flavors, backed by a prominent graphite note that drives through the lengthy finish, where extra hints of anise and sweet tobacco flitter in the background. Regal. Best from 2018 through 2035. 95 Points - James SucklingThe nose is complex, featuring smoke, meat and hints of wood, with currants, olives and berries underneath. Full body with super-velvety tannins. The strong acidity gives the wine an edginess. Love the spicy, subtly fruity finish. 93+ Points - Robert Parker's Wine AdvocateA blend of 84. 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 0. 5% Petit Verdot, the 2011 Latour represents only 34% of the crop. It hit 13. 1% natural alcohol. One of the vintage's most compelling wines, it possesses a dense ruby/purple color as well as a sweet, open-knit personality with ripe tannin, superb intensity, good purity and harmony, a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, and lots of crushed rock, floral and black as well as blue fruit notes in addition to hints of ink and forest floor. This beautifully rich, savory Latour will be surprisingly drinkable in 4-5 years, and should age easily for two decades or more.
