Château Latour(2001)
Born with the vintage 73, the Pauillac, coming from wine that may not be up to the standard of " Les Forts de Latour ", was made thereafter only in 74 and 87.
Since the vintage 1990, this generic Pauillac is released each year, with the same selection objectives, and as a result often made out of the young vines from the three plots situated outside the Grand Enclos.

- ($120-$179) Deep red-ruby. Enticing aromas of roasted plum, currant, graphite and smoky oak. Precise, spicy and juicy; more herbal than the 2002 or 2003 but also very intensely flavored and not at all hard. This very long, pure Latour seems to be shutting down today.

- Lean and aromatic. Gentle texture, but drink soon! Quite light. Very easy. No rough edges. Light and slightly short. This third wine from the first growth, rarely seen on the market, unusually contains as much as 25 per cent press wine this year, apparently.
