[AOC]ポイヤック 第1級
[パーカー評価]100点
There are only 10,800 cases of the 2003 Latour, a blend of 81%
Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot. A prodigious
effort, it boasts a saturated purple color as a gorgeous
perfume of smoke, cedar, creme de cassis, flowers, crushed rocks,
and blackberries. Massive and multi-layered, with huge richness
and low acidity, it is about as unctuous as young Latour can be.
It could be compared to the 1982, but it may be even more pure,
at least at this early stage, than that monumental wine. The
level of intensity builds prodigiously in the mouth, and the
finish lasts nearly a minute. Disarmingly accessible, I suspect
it will ultimately shut down, but it was performing impeccably
when I tasted it. Anticipated maturity:2010-2040+.
