95 POINTS  - DECANTER WORLD WINE AWARDS 2024 

Pauillac de Château Latour 2020 is the third wine of the legendary First Growth estate, primarily crafted from the younger vines of the property. First introduced in 1989, it offers an approachable yet authentic expression of Latour’s renowned Pauillac terroir. The 2020 vintage is composed of 53% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4% Petit Verdot, partly matured in new oak barrels. It displays a deep garnet-purple color and an aromatic bouquet of blackcurrant, blackberry, and ripe plum, layered with notes of cedar, graphite, clove, and subtle earthy spices. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, balancing freshness and depth. Silky yet firm tannins provide structure, while lively acidity carries the flavors into a long, mineral-driven finish with hints of dark chocolate and tobacco leaf. Compared to Latour’s grand vin, this wine is more generous and fruit-forward, designed for earlier enjoyment while retaining the precision, elegance, and Pauillac character that define the estate.
