The Story

The chateau makes three different wines. The so-called grand vin, that is Château Latour itself, a second wine called Les Forts de Latour and a third wine simply called Pauillac. The grand vin comes from the original part of the vineyards, called the Enclos. This is the most prestigious part of the vineyard where the vines have a fine view of the Gironde estuary. The tradition in Bordeaux says that vines that overlook the water make the best w...

BORDEAUX 2000 – A  DREAM VINTAGE

Weather conditions / Vintage 2000 has from the very start been proclaimed as one of the best vintages of modern times. In spring 2003, I've had many opportunities to find out, if we really have a true dream vintage in our hands.

During harvest 2000, while doing "personal inspection" in the vineyards, I noticed that something extraordinary big was on its way. Grapes looked extremely healthy.

The 2000 Latour, however, was appropriately served last in this superlative flight. ‘Is that a powerful wine or what?’ Someone rhetorically asked. It was a penetrating beast, sinus-clearing with its t ‘n a, along with aromas of cement, cedar and a touch of milkshake. Rich, concentrated and dense, the Latour was the biggest wine of the evening and also the thickest and the longest. Game emerged in this behemoth of a wine. It reminded me of that Kayne West song where the chorus goes, ‘bigger, longer, faster, stronger.’ While I am hesitant to give young wines scores in the 98 and 99 point territory because my convictions are that those scores are for wines that stand the test of time, the 2000 Latour left me no choice

 Just entering the start of its long drinking window, everything about this wine rocks! The nose, with its cedar, range of tobaccos, currants, smoke, spice, and blackberries is what you initially notice. But it is on the palate, with its concentration, length, purity, expansiveness, and richness that owns the show. There is no hurry to drink this future legend. But if you are sitting on a case, why not check it out? Drink from 2023-2065.

Latour 2000 was still dressed up in baby “clothes” Great potential and many years to go. Gobs of fruit and tannin waiting patiently to come up to the surface. 99p.

A blackberry hue, with scents of rich leather, cooked caramel, berries and forest floor. Youthfully forward on the palate, supple and appealing with rich concentration. Tannins are abundant, yet fine, and persist throughout a layering of textural sensation. The richness of this wine correlates with the fine dust of the Bordeaux soils. Finish expresses oak (French barrel) and Latour fruit-forward impressions. This wine is  tannic, rich and squared off by our signature suppleness.

Impressive deep, dark colour; the wines have a powerful, balanced structure. The dense structures and the qualities of the tannins may be superior to those of the 96 and 90 vintage. The balance of the Grand Vin combines class, rigour, complexity and great finesse in the fruit.

-
Surprisingly evolved bottle for 2000 with vegetal farmyard aromas mixed with classic pencil shave and violet flavors. Great concentration. Far from delivering its best yet. Cellar it!

Good looking magnum size bottle, in an excellent condition and has by the neck level. Colour is ruby red, deep and youthful . On the nose it is intense, fresh, generous and charming. The taste is fresh, vigor, ripe, fragrant, with silky tannins, full-bodied, with good texture, well-integrated, complex and perfectly balanced structure. On the palate it is layered and has tropical fruits, perfumed, vanilla, blackberry, leather, cigar-box, cedar, mint and dried-fruit flavours. The finish is long, extensive, lingering, pure and vibrant. This wine is transparent, outstanding and fine. I paid around 1k-3k€ a bottle. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 20-30 years and decant at least 2h before tasting. Good value for money.
