Tasting notes
Aroma
An explosion of First Growth nobility. The nose is deep and brooding with crème de cassis, graphite, and cedar, but the organic farming brings out a lifted, high-definition perfume of violets and wet stones.
Palate

This is the most electric and aromatic Latour produced in decades.
The 2017 Grand Vin is a milestone for Château Latour. This is the first vintage to be farmed entirely organically and biodynamically, and that shift is palpable in the glass. While the estate is world-famous for its iron-fisted power, this bottle introduces a new dimension of "startling purity" and "vibrating energy." Sourced exclusively from the Enclos—the most prestigious gravel hill in the Médoc—this wine offers a level of aromatic precision that rivals the legendary 2016.
James Suckling rated this masterpiece 99 points, calling it "sexy," "gorgeous," and a wine of "immense strength and finesse." It possesses the classic, high-definition Pauillac profile of graphite and cassis but carries it with a seamless, athletic texture that feels like crushed silk. At $525, we are offering the single best price in the United States, period. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a near-perfect First Growth monument at a price that simply doesn't exist elsewhere.
