"hot off the press!"
Vor wenigen Minuten kam 2015 CHATEAU LATOUR auf den Markt. Ein herausragender Jahrgang mit Bewertungen bis zum Abwinken. Kurz und gut 2015 CHATEAU LATOUR ist ein grandioser Wein, den wir mittlerweile bereits drei Mal verkosten konnten. Das ist CHATEAU LATOUR at its best, ein absoluter Ausnahme Pauillac. Über CHATEAU LATOUR viel Worte zu verlieren, ist ohnehin nicht notwendig. Mit dem Jahrgang 2012 wechselte der Premier Cru zu einer alternativen Distributionsstrategie, die Weine kommen erst deutlich später auf den Markt. So ist der release des 2015 CHATEAU LATOUR und 2017 LES FORTS DE LATOUR das erste Mal, dass diese Weine auf den Weltmarkt gelangen. Richten Sie Ihr Augenmerk unbedingt auch auf den grandiosen 2017 LES FORTS DE LATOUR, den Sie zu einem Drittel des Preises des Erstweins erhalten. Allein sechs Bewertungen von 94 Punkten für diesen Prestige-Zweitwein, Details ersehen Sie auf unserer Page.
Wir machen es kurz, lesen Sie die Bewertungen bitte einmal durch, denn was hier in Kürze die Keller von CHATEAU LATOUR verlässt, ist grandios.
98 THE WINEADVOCATE: "Blended of 97.1% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2.6% Merlot and 0.3% Petit Verdot, the deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Latour is exquisitely perfumed, displaying fragrant notes of crushed black cherries, raspberry preserves, cassis and black plums with nuances of roses, dark chocolate, garrigue, menthol and a waft of sandalwood. The medium-bodied palate beautifully struts its taut, toned, muscular fruit with a frame of very firm, smooth, rounded tannins and compelling freshness, finishing with alluring earth and mineral layers. At once intellectual and sexy, this truly evocative vintage brings to mind the Melanie Griffith line from “Working Girl," possessing a sultry “head for business and a bod for sin."
97-99 WINE ENTHUSIAST: "Barrel Sample. Seriously structured and yet also so smooth, this wine has great concentration and powerful tannins. There is wonderful juiciness here as well as dense, dusty tannins that are never hard, always velvet. It is going to be a great wine when it is released in maybe 10 years time. The wine comes only from vineyards that are biodynamic."
98 JAMES SUCKLING: "Aromas of iron, oyster shell, rust and stones with blueberries and blackberries. Full-bodied, yet ever so polished and refined. It rolls off the palate with fruit and salty flavors. Tight, focused and always refined. Pretty length. 97% cabernet sauvignon gives this brightness."
99 THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Still holding on to its depth of color. The wine already shows some development with its truffle, oyster shell, cassis, Asian spice, dark red fruits and cherry tones. This is a Latour of elegance, purity of fruit and silky texture over power that is coupled with layers of concentrated fruits, and the structure to age for generations."
98+ ANTONIO GALLONI: "A seamless, totally captivating wine, the 2015 Latour has no beginning and noend, it simply exists in its own little world of pure and total harmony. Nothing is out of place. Instead, the 2015 captivates both the intellectual and hedonistic senses with its remarkable aromatic depth and textural brilliance. Exotic in ist ripeness, with tremendous persistence and dazzling balances, the 2015 really does have it all.The 2015 is 97.1% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2.6% Merlot and 0.3% Petit Verdot. Don't miss it."
