Product Info

96 poena - Jeb Dunnuck

Château Latour je jedno od najmoćnijih i najdugovječnijih imanja u Bordeauxu, smješteno u Pauillacu, Premier Grand Cru Classé poznat po dubini, strukturi i beskompromisnoj preciznosti. Berba 2008, iz hladnije i klasičnije godine, naglašava napetost, svježinu i dug potencijal za odležavanje, uz blend predvođen Cabernet Sauvignon-om, uz Merlot i Cabernet Franc.

U čaši se pokazuje duboka granatna boja sa blagim ciglastim nijansama. Na nosu je intenzivno i kompleksno, sa aromama crne ribizle, cassisa i tamne trešnje, uz slojeve grafita, kedra, duvana i prepoznatljive mineralne dubine. Na nepcu je punog tijela i snažno strukturirano, sa čvrstim, finim taninima i živom kisjelinom; voće je precizno i fokusirano, a završnica duga, moćna i postojana, sa izraženom mineralnošću, začinskim tonovima i izuzetnim potencijalom za odležavanje.

96 points - Jeb Dunnuck

Château Latour is one of Bordeaux’s most powerful and long-lived estates, located in Pauillac, a Premier Grand Cru Classé renowned for its depth, structure, and uncompromising precision. The 2008 vintage, from a cooler and more classical year, emphasizes tension, freshness, and longevity, with a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend supported by Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

In the glass, it shows a deep garnet colour with slight brick evolution. The nose is intense and complex, with aromas of blackcurrant, cassis, and dark cherry, layered with graphite, cedar, tobacco, and the estate’s hallmark mineral depth. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with firm, finely grained tannins and vibrant acidity; the fruit is precise and focused, leading to a long, powerful finish marked by minerality, spice, and exceptional ageing potential.
