The 2011 Chateau Latour was a brilliant success in this challenging vintage. The wines reveal an intense, deep color with an elegant nose that has floral notes and on the palate, it is very fruity and flavorsome with precise and noble tannins. The wines feature layers of blackcurrants, blackberries, and ripe plums joined by harmonious notes with hints of cedar, tobacco, and graphite. This complex bouquet leads to a long and lingering finale.

Critic Reviews
James Suckling
95 Points
95 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "The nose is complex, featuring smoke, meat and hints of wood, with currants, olives and berries underneath. Full body with super-velvety tannins. The strong acidity gives the wine an edginess. Love the spicy, subtly fruity finish. Steely. Try in 2020." 01/14
Wine Spectator
96 Points
96 Points, James Molesworth, Wine Spectator: "This has a gorgeous core of steeped plum, boysenberry and black currant coulis flavors, backed by a prominent graphite note that drives through the lengthy finish, where extra hints of anise and sweet tobacco flitter in the background. Regal. Best from 2018 through 2035. 5,835 cases made." 03/14

97 Points, Jane Anson, Decanter: "A delicious wine that stands out from many in the vintage. A ton of personality, with a sappy, raspberry, autumnal berry fruit as it opens and travels through the palate, with rose petals on the edge that give a beautiful uplift along with the classic trace of mint. Its tannins are a little more angular than you find in the 2010 and 2009, but it is starting to lengthen and open, although this was a vintage that was not immediately impressive in the way that the previous two had been. A stately Latour, one that needs another few years to really show its place. The last Latour to be sold en primeur in the old system. 34% of overall production. Harvest September 12 to 26. (Drink between 2021-2048)" 02/21

95 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2011 Latour is well-defined on the nose with blackberry, bilberry, cedar, hoisin and a touch of mint. There is impressive intensity here, regal and convincing. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins. There is a solid backbone to this wine, plenty of freshness, quite powerful towards the finish with superb persistence. Wonderful. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting. (Drink between 2022-2050)"
