Jane Anson: 98-100 Punkte

Latour has an exceptional terroir for a vintage like 2022, with sticky clay underpinning the gravel, and a view directly out onto the cooling breezes of the Garonne, and it stands out for its confidence and swagger. Clear crayon and concentrated black cassis, bilberry, cherry pit, lemongrass, cigar box, liquorice root, this is concentrated, with welcome edges of bitter fennel and aniseed that elongate the experience, builds in waves through the palate, emphasising sappy and grippy tannins. Starts with the classic building blocks of Pauillac, ends with gentle waves of iris and crushed roses. 6% press wine. A potential 100 points. (04/2023)

99+ POINTS

The 2022 Latour, which of course will be late-released at some point in the future, has a very controlled and intense bouquet, certainly less rich than the Mouton Rothschild that I taste immediately beforehand. That leitmotif of shucked oyster shells permeates that black fruit, with hints of brine just in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, but there is real structure and density here. This is a concentrated Latour cut from the same cloth as say, the 2010, 1982 and dare I say, the 1961. There is tangible grip, perhaps not as velvety smooth as some of its peers, but it is quintessentially Latour with a nuanced touch of spice on the aftertaste. Magnificent.

This is a breath of fresh air in this hot vintage with superlative balance and finesse. It's really dynamic and sophisticated, showing complex aromas of lead pencil and blackcurrants as well as blackberries and orange zest. Spanish cedar and cigars too. Full-bodied but compacted, it gives an impression of elegance and grace yet is superstructured and endless in the finish. Mineral and crushed-stone undertones. Classic Latour all the way! Best after 2030. (01/2025)

97-100 POINTS

From a château that never puts a foot wrong, the 2022 Château Latour is another sensational wine that's going to be one of the wines of the vintage, as well as one of the longest-lived. A blend of 92.45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7.4% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot, it has a quintessential Latour nose of pure dark currants, cassis, lead pencil, and smoked tobacco, with subtle floral and violet notes emerging with time in the glass. Concentrated, straight, and incredibly focused on the palate, it's a powerhouse of a Pauillac offering beautiful tannins, flawless balance, and a great finish. Despite having a wealth of fruit and texture, it's going to demand a solid 10-15 years of bottle age to hit the early stages of its prime drinking window. (05/2023)

The 2022 Latour, composed of 92.45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7.4% Merlot, and 0.15% Petit Verdot, is deep garnet-purple in color. The nose slowly unfurls to offer beguiling scents of wild blueberries, blackcurrant pastilles, black raspberries, and crushed rocks, with hints of cardamom, cinnamon, orange peel, and lilacs. The medium to full-bodied palate beautifully maintains its poise and sophistication in spite of the heat of the vintage, with layer upon layer of bright, vibrant black fruits and very fine, silt-like tannins, supported by seamless freshness, finishing beautifully long and earthy. This includes 7.6% press wine and represents 38.8% of the year's production. pH 3.85, TPI 75. (05/2023)

Parker – Wine Advocate

97-100 POINTS

A profound young Pauillac that numbers among the very best wines of the vintage, the 2022 Latour unwinds in the glass with notions of cassis, wild berries and plums mingled with notions of walnuts, burning embers, loamy soil and violets. Full-bodied, deep and layered, it's concentrated and multidimensional, with beautifully refined tannins, terrific tension and a seamless, harmonious profile. Any stressed vines were harvested separately and relegated to the estate's generic wine, and extraction was gentle this year. The 2022 is a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot and the balance Petit Verdot.
