Opinión de los críticos

James Suckling:

This has chocolate, cedar and walnuts as well as some currant aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with some lovely fruit and juiciness. 55.8% cabernet sauvignon, 38.8% merlot and 5.4% petit verdot. Attractive now but another year or two will make it even better. (James Suckling)

Falstaff:

Deep dark ruby garnet, opaque core, purple reflections, delicate rim brightening. Fine red berry nuances, a hint of redcurrants and liquorice, fresh orange zest. Medium body, red cherries, mineral and fresh, already well developed, red forest berries in the aftertaste, salty finish.

The Wine Advocate:

The 2019 Le Pauillac de Château Latour is a strong effort, offering up inviting aromas of cassis and plums mingled with notions of cigar wrapper, vanilla pod and creamy oak. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with good concentration and powdery tannins, it will offer a broad drinking window. (William Kelley)

Decanter:

Sweet scents on the nose, strawberry and red cherry with some dark chocolate. Supple and lively, smooth and sumptuous at first, then more straight and well defined with a mineral, salty and chalky texture on the palate that grips and coats the mouth. It's very pleasant with high acidity and an enjoyable crushed stone juiciness adding to the clearly ripe fruit. It's complex with bitter orange and dark chocolate alongside toasted herbal accents. It definitely has a serious edge to it and I would still decant if drinking soon but overall it's very characterful and nicely structured. (Georgina Hindle)
