The 2009 is characterized by a great concentration and an unseen quantity of tannins which possess extraoridinary aromatic intensity freshness and precision. It is rich ripe and mineral with a very long lingering finish."
James Suckling: 100 Points
"A breathtaking combination of dried flowers and minerals with dark fruits such as currants and blackberries. Full-bodied with fabulous fruit concentration yet its compacted. Velvety tannins. So much fruit and beauty. It's the quality of the tannins that are magic. It is the famous 1959 all over again. Amazing. T"

"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 momentous proportions it boasts a dense purple color as well as an extraordinarily flamboyant bouquet of black fruits graphite crushed rocks subtle oak and a 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 years? No doubt about it. Can it be drunk in a decade? For sure. ":
Wine Enthusiast: 99 Points
"A big powerful wine that sums up the richness of the vintage. It is densely fruity spicy with an enormous black plum and berry fruit character to go with the acidity. It?s concentrated while still showing such wonderfully pure fruit. The aging potential is immense."
Wine Spectator: 99 Points
"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?"
