2009 Chateau Latour
Proprietor Francois Pinault and his director, Frederic Engerer, have pulled out all the stops to produce one of the most monumental Latour's ever made a Blend of 91.3% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8.7% Merlot with just under 14% natural alcohol, the 2009 Latour is basically a clone of the super 2003, only more structured and potentially more massive and long lived. An elixir of momuntous proportions, it boasts a dense purple color as well as an extraordinarily flamboyant bouquet of black fruits, graphite, crushed rocks, subtle oak and notion of wet steel. It hits the palate with a thundering concoction of thick, juicy blue and black fruits, lead pencil shavings and a chalky minerality. Full-bodied, but very fresh with a finish that lasts over a minute, this is one of the most remarkable young wines I have ever tasted. Will it last one-hundred year? No doubt about it. Can it be drunk in a decade? For sure. Score: 100 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, March 2012 2009法国波尔多一级庄：拉图庄园干红葡萄酒
经营者弗朗索瓦•皮诺和他的总监德里克·恩杰尔，倾其所能地酿造了这款代表其酿酒巅峰的里程碑似的拉图尔。它混合了91.3％的赤霞珠和8.7％的梅洛，但只有不到14％的天然酒精度，2009年的拉图尔基本上是绝妙的2003年份的翻版，只是它更加具有质感，以及更具有厚重的酒体和陈藏多年的潜质。2009年的拉图尔是完美比例的展示，它的酒色是深紫色，并且具有黑色水果香、石墨、沙石、微妙的橡木香和湿钢铁混合而成的美妙芳香。这款佳酿呈现出浓烈、厚重的蓝色和黑色水果清香、铅笔屑和白垩矿物混合而成的绝妙口感。酒体饱满，新鲜爽口，留香能持续达一分钟之久。这是我曾经品尝过的最美妙的年轻葡萄酒之一。它会否能窖藏一百年呢？这一点是毫无疑问的。那它是否可以在十年内饮用呢？当然没有问题。 评分：100 分，罗伯特帕克，葡萄酒推荐，2012年3月 |
