  Very fruity with crushed raspberries, flowers, slate, graphite and light white pepper. Cumin and spice with air. It’s medium-bodied with light and delicate tannins and a fresh finish. Delicious already but will age nicely. Drink or hold."

  Deep, fresh, and loaded with currants, orange rind, cocoa, smoke, and blackberries, with tension, chalky tannins, and red currants in the finish. If you enjoy your Pauillac on the young side, this has just entered the start of its drinking window. Drink from 2024-2037."

  Looking at the three releases from Château Latour, these are all powerful, concentrated, wines that are going to age gracefully. Starting with the 2020 Pauillac, it has ample cassis and darker fruits as well as attractively perfumed aromatics of violets, graphite, and some obvious minerality. Medium to full-bodied and beautifully balanced, with fine tannins, it's a legit Pauillac to drink over the coming 15+ years."

  Deep dark crimson. Gorgeously fragrant and pure black fruit. Open and aromatic. Lots of acidity here, just held in place by the other components but it is not fully meshed yet. Vibrant, juicy, finely tannic."

  Kräftige Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Raudaufhellung. Feine Kräuterwürze, tabakige Nuancen, ein Hauch von Edelholz, dunkle Waldbeeren, ein Hauch von Kirschen. Am Gaumen frisch, elegant, reife Herzkirschen, dezente Tannine, mineralisch, ausgewogen, ein animierender Speisenbegleiter."

  Sappy and fresh, with a vivid and expressive quality to the blueberry fruit alongside savoury cassis bud. This has plenty of lift, good depth through the mid palate, and retains the graphite kiss and tightly muscular tannins that give appellation signature without needing to wait to being drinking. I would suggest another year in bottle, then a good long carafe. This is classic, concentrated, balanced, a buy. 32hl/h yield, 23.5% of Latour's overall production in the vintage.

  A fragrant and expressive nose, revealing layers of dried herbs, eucalyptus, thyme, and aniseed spice alongside blackcurrants and plums. The palate is vibrant and juicy, with softly fleshy tannins that expand beautifully, offering a cool graphite, cola, and liquorice edge. There's a refreshing tanginess, with bitter grapefruit adding a lively tension. Less plush and round than the 2022 vintage, this is more direct and linear, with a bright, energetic character. Lovely persistence and vibrancy, making it an enjoyable expression of Pauillac. 3.63pH."

  The Wine Advocate
  The estate's second wine, produced from young vines, less optimally located parcels and any declassified lots, is the 2020 Le Pauillac de Château Latour, an attractive effort redolent of sweet berries, cassis, licorice and petals. Medium to full-bodied, with lively acids, sweet tannins and a penetrating finish, it combines immediate charm with aging potential."

  Lisa Perrotti-Brown
  The 2020 Le Pauillac de Chateau Latour is a blend of 53% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple in color, it needs some coaxing to reveal delicate notes of redcurrants, wild blueberries, and crushed plums, plus hints of bay leaves, tree bark, and cracked black pepper. The medium-bodied palate is bright, lively, and energetic, with a grainy texture and minerally finish."
