Chateau Latour 1er Grand Cru Classe 2009 Double Magnum 7.5 kg
Chateau Latour 1er Grand Cru Classe 2009 Double Magnum is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Chateau Latour 2009 is considered one of the greatest wines of the estate in the modern era and one of the most outstanding Bordeaux vintages of the 21st century. The wine was made in almost ideal conditions for the ripening of Cabernet Sauvignon and received the highest scores from the world's leading critics, including Robert Parker. The Double Magnum format is especially valuable thanks to the slower and more harmonious development of the wine in bottle. The large volume helps to preserve freshness, complexity and structure over decades, making this wine a particularly rare and prestigious example for a collection and for long-term ageing.

Robert Parker
Deep garnet colored, the 2009 Latour is unashamedly youthful with bold blackcurrants, black cherries and warm plums notes plus nuances of cedar chest, aniseed, beef drippings, truffles and tapenade with a waft of tilled black soil. Full, concentrated and powerful in the mouth, it has a rock-solid frame of super ripe, grainy tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing very long and wonderfully minerally. Just a baby—this needs time!
James Suckling
Dark and chocolatey with a lot of richness, but also a cool herbal freshness this is a very impressive Medoc wine that's already delicious to drink. Very long, surprisingly supple finish for this château. A perfect wine. Drink or hold.
Wine Spectator
This seems to come full circle, with a blazing iron note and mouthwatering acidity up front leading to intense, vibrant cassis, blackberry and cherry skin flavors that course along, followed by the same vivacious minerality that started things off. The tobacco, ganache and espresso notes seem almost superfluous right now, but they'll join the fray in due time. The question is, can you wait long enough?
