Chateau Latour, Pauillac, 2003
A First Growth from a famously hot, ripe vintage, now fully mature and ready to drink. Chateau Latour sits at the southern tip of Pauillac, its core vineyard the gravel-rich Enclos overlooking the Gironde, and its Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant grand vin is built for the long haul. The torrid 2003 summer pushed Latour toward an unusually plush, generous style for the estate, with the deep concentration the year delivered but tempered by Latour's signature backbone. After two decades it has shed its youthful grip and entered its drinking window. Decant and give it a special occasion.
