Parker about Château Latour Grand Vin 1er OWC 2016

On paper, the combination of this estate and this vintage should be a match made in heaven, and the 2016 Latour has already received resounding acclaim among the wine trade and commentariat. The result in the glass, however, didn't quite meet my lofty expectations, offering up aromas of cassis and blackberries mingled with cigar ash, pencil shavings and saddle leather, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and layered palate that's undeniably concentrated and muscular but also somewhat austerely structured, with firm tannins that assert themselves on the somewhat carnal finish. For sheer intensity of flavor, the 2016 is certainly impressive, but it appears to be missing the purity and precision that one might expect for a first growth in a great 21st-century vintage. Perhaps the wine's somewhat wild, rustic characteristics will integrate more seamlessly as more bottle bouquet develops, but my immediate reaction to tasting it was to purchase two more cases of the superb 2016 Forts de Latour.

Suckling over Château Latour Grand Vin 1er OWC 2016

I am dreaming as I smell this wine, perfectly ripe cabernet sauvignon with currants, tobacco and fresh mint. Orange blossoms too. This amazing nose is so complex. Medium- to full-bodied, this has has perfectly integrated tannins that you don't feel but know are there, elevating the wine to another level. It's very drinkable because of its stellar balance, yet the tannic tension gives it energy and seamless texture. A benchmark Latour that reminds me of the 1982 in many ways. Drink or hold.

Subtle floral accents of violets and roses, along with mineral nuances, lend the bouquet additional depth and elegance.

On the palate, the Château Latour 2016 is full-bodied and powerful, with an impressive structure. The tannins are firm, fine-grained, and polished, imparting a remarkable texture to the wine. The ripe fruit aromas carry through, accompanied by spicy and mineral notes. The finish is long, elegant, and supported by a pure, refreshing acidity that underscores the wine's harmony.

The Château Latour Grand Vin 2016 combines power with elegance, offering a captivating tasting experience even in its youth. At the same time, it possesses extraordinary aging potential that will allow it to evolve across many decades. A wine of the highest pedigree that fascinates connoisseurs and collectors alike.
