The 2004 acidity comes through in the sweet cassis flavors, supported at the back by tannins. Currently, the wine is closed up, losing some of its fresh fruit, but this is a moment in its slow evolution towards a classic Latour.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e — Jean-Marc Quarin · 2004 Vintage · Tasting Date: Mar 2024 · Drinking Window: 2013–2035\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e — Robert Parker The Wine Advocate · 2004 Vintage · Tasting Date: Mar 2017 · Drinking Window: 2020–2045\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e — Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider · 2004 Vintage · Tasting Date: Jan 2015\u003cbr\u003e“Surprisingly woodsy, with truffle, cassis, earth, tobacco, cedar chest and blackberry in the developed nose. There is a nice softness to the tannins and fruit. Not yet fully mature, but quite developed for a vintage of Latour at 10 years of age, the wine offers pleasure, refined textures, balance and sweet berries in the finish. Drink now, or wait 5 years for more complexity. 94 Points”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e — Decanter · 2004 Vintage · Tasting Date: Mar 2024 · Drinking Window: 2024–2045\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout This Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eThe Origins\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChâteau Latour’s Grand Vin is made exclusively from “vieilles vignes”, an average of 60 years-old, in the Enclos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGravettes, Sarmentier, Pièce de Château... these are the names of some of the finest plots that express the character of the terroir and forge the wine’s identity every year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eThe Terroir\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heart of the Enclos is the only terroir that, every year, can produce the depth, elegance and concentration that we expect of the Grand Vin.

Very concentrated fruit is supported by an imposing structure, and already showing great purity and a rare level of energy. The finish is long and very silky, supported by very well-integrated tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout the Producer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChâteau Latour is one of Bordeaux’s – and the world’s – most famous wine producers.
