Tasting Notes and Scores
The 2017 Pauillac de Château Latour is such a beautiful wine. Lush, pliant and supple, with pretty top notes, the 2017 is pure class. Sweet red plum, spice, leather, cedar and tobacco are some of the many nuances that grace the exquisite Pauillac of Château Latour. All the elements fall into place in a wine of total breeding.

A salty and fresh red with mineral and dark-berry character and a clean and bright finish. Shows linear and tight character. - jamessuckling.com, April 2018

Based on 52.9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39.9% Merlot, and 7.2% Petit Verdot, the 2017 Le Pauillac De Chateau Latour shows the classic style of the vintage, yet has rock-solid density and depth as well as some Latour class. Blackcurrants, cassis, smoked tobacco, new leather, and graphite all emerge from the glass, and it's medium-bodied, textured, and elegant on the palate.

Latour’s indecently good 2017 Le Pauillac de Château Latour bursts with fragrant aromas of creamy cassis, wild berries and plums. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and polished, it’s supple and succulent, with an enveloping core of fruit, lively acids and already melting tannins. This is already very approachable on release. 91pts WK
A blend of 52.9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39.9% Merlot and 7.2% Petit Verdot, the 2017 Le Pauillac de Château Latour is medium to deep garnet-purple in color and comes bounding out of the glass with youthful, energetic notions of ripe black plums, freshly crushed blackcurrants and chocolate-covered cherries with touches of pencil lead, cloves, camphor and smoked meats. Medium-bodied, the palate practically quivers with tension, featuring vibrant red and black fruits and soft, grainy tannins, finishing with fantastic freshness. 90pts LPB
Wine Advocate
Generous, featuring plum and cassis aromas and flavors, this pure, expressive wine glistens with floral and iron details through the focused finish. Sneakily long. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2021 through 2032. — JM
Wine Spectator
The 2017 Pauillac de Latour is deep purple in hue. The bouquet is quite floral and engaging with copious black fruit with touches of blue fruit, hints of graphite developing with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a fine line of acidity and linearity. It needs two or three years in bottle but this will turn into a fine Pauillac de Latour.
Neal Martin
The third wine of the great Chateau Latour. Nicely weighted, zesty and elegant. Sweet up front fruit which finishes a little short but shows good harmony and interest. - April 2018
