The 2014 vintage at Château Latour showcases the estate's commitment to excellence, even in challenging years. The season began with a promising start, experienced a cooler mid-summer, and was ultimately redeemed by a warm, dry September and October, allowing for the development of grapes with remarkable concentration and balance.

In the glass, the wine presents a deep garnet hue, indicative of its depth and aging potential. The nose is complex and inviting, offering aromas of blackcurrant, graphite, cigar box, and subtle floral notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with layers of dark fruit, tobacco, and mineral nuances. The tannins are firm yet refined, providing a backbone that supports the wine's rich fruit core and leads to a persistent, elegant finish.

This 2014 Grand Vin is a testament to Château Latour's ability to produce wines of exceptional quality and longevity, even in less-than-ideal vintages. It is recommended to cellar this wine for several years to allow its full potential to unfold, with an optimal drinking window extending from 2025 to 2055.

Reviews

"This has aromas of black fruit, olives, wet earth, dried lavender, cloves and bark. Bitter chocolate and walnuts, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, tight-grained tannins. Structured, with great freshness and length. Cedar notes on the lighter mid-palate. Still a little tight and chewy."
"The 2014 Latour is one of the very finest wines of a vintage that favored the northern Médoc. Mingling aromas of wild berries and cassis with hints of cigar wrapper, loamy soil, black truffles and classy new oak, it’s full-bodied, rich and concentrated, its broad attack segueing into a deep, tightly wound mid-palate that’s framed by powdery, chalky tannins and bright acids, concluding with a long, mouthwatering finish. This classically balanced, youthfully structured young wine looks set to enjoy prodigious longevity. It’s reminiscent of a modern-day version of a cooler vintage such as 1996, though of course these days maturity is more complete and selection even more rigorous than was the case two decades ago."
