Description

The Bottle has the wine level, cork, and rear label in perfect condition, the front label has a scratch.
The seller has kept it since 2003, in the basement, at the perfect temperature, without moving it, just to photograph it.
A brilliant offering, which should be drinkable much earlier than the blockbuster 2000, the 2001 Latour boasts an inky/ruby/purple color to the rim as well as a glorious bouquet of black currants, crushed stones, vanilla, and hints of truffles and oak. A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and the balance primarily Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it reveals a sweetness on the palate that is atypical for such a young Latour. The beautiful integration of tannin, acidity, and wood is stunning. The wine flows across the palate with fabulous texture, purity, and presence. This luscious, full-bodied Latour was surprisingly open-knit on the three occasions I tasted it from bottle. However, do not mistake its aging ability as this 2001, despite its precociousness, will last 20-25 years. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (153), June 2004

95 James Suckling, Wine Spectator, March 2002

18 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, October 2007:Some hint of brick at the rim. Sweet and occluded on the nose. Big and bloody, this certainly delivers a punch though it’s far from refined at this point. Lots of dusty tannins. Opened up well in the glass and was very confident so I marked it up by half a point. Pretty tough style! I initially took it for La Mission.
