Jeb Dunnuck

An incredible wine in every way, the 2009 Château Latour displays the ripe, sexy style of the vintage while still offering classic Latour power, density, and regalness. Currants, spicy wood, smoked tobacco, graphite, and ample minerality all define the bouquet, and its full-bodied, with incredible density, perfectly integrated, ripe, polished tannins, and a finish that leaves no doubt about the insane quality of this wine. Based on 91.3% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8.7% Merlot, and checking in at 13.7% alcohol, its drinking brilliantly today given its incredible texture and balance, and I suspect it has another 50-60 years of prime drinking. This is as good a Bordeaux as Ive had and is as good as wine gets.

This is supremely Latour, muscular, deeply rooted, with a wall of tannins hiding the rich blackcurrant, cassis and black cherry fruits. Feels the youngest of the five First Growth 2009s we are tasting, like it is barely getting going, with the focus on subdued power at this point. Chewy tannins, concentrated and sculpted, with a muscular architecture, fully expressing the powerful terroir of this spot in southern Pauillac. Will take its time, with a long future ahead - absolutely confirming the excellence of my tasting of this wine a year ago, although far more closed than the other wines in this lineup - be sure to really give it time in a carafe if drinking any time soon. A day with the bottle open but not carafed would not be insane.100% new oak, Penelope Godefroy vineyard director, Frederic Engerer director.
