Bordeaux Total René Gabriel:
Fast nur Cabernet Sauvignon und Merlot! Ein ½ % Cabernet Franc und ein weiteres ½ % Petit Verdot spielen beim Latour 2002 eine völlig nebensächliche Rolle, denn nebst 25 % Merlot bilden 74 % Cabernet Sauvignon den Löwenanteil der Assemblage. Letztendlich wurde etwas mehr als die Hälfte, nämlich genau 51 % der Gesamternte als Latour klassiert. 37 % des Ertrages gelangten in die Selektion des Les Forts de Latour (82 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 18 % Merlot). 12% sind für den einfachen "Pauillac de Latour" abgefüllt worden. 03: Fassprobe (19/20): Konzentriertes, tiefgründiges Bouquet, Cassis, Palisander, dunkle Nüsse, Herbsttrompeten, braucht viel Luft. Sehr fleischiger, zupackender Gaumen, intensive Gerbstofftextur mit einer massiven Adstringenz verbunden, die primäre Frucht wirkt etwas im Hintergrund und zeigt sich in einer Mischung zwischen blauen und schwarzen Früchten, gewaltiger Biss mit sehr kernigen Noten im Finale, wirkt durch den Kraftauftakt und die Präsenz der massigen Tannine deutlich maskuliner als der Jahrgang 2001. Bewertung 19/20. -René Gabriel-
Robert Parker Wine Advocate:
The wine of the vintage? There are only 10,000 cases of this extraordinarily rich, dense 2002 that is as powerful as the 2003 (even the alcohol levels are nearly the same, 12.85%) . It is dark ruby/purple to the rim, with notes of English walnuts, crushed rocks, black currants, and forest floor, dense, full-bodied, and opulent, yet classic with spectacular aromatics, marvelous purity, and a full-bodied finish that lasts just over 50+ seconds. Huge richness and the sweetness of the tannin are somewhat deceptive as this wine seems set for a long life. Administrator Frederic Engerer seems to be more pleased with what Latour achieved in 2002 than in any other recent vintage. Hats off to him for an extraordinary accomplishment in a vintage that wouldn’t have been expected to produce the raw materials to achieve something at this level of quality. Drink Date 2012-2045. Rating 96/100. -Rober M. Parker, Jr.-
Vinous:
The 2002 Latour is a wine that has impressed ever since I first tasted it from barrel and subsequently both in sighted and blind conditions. It offers disarming black fruit laced with tobacco and graphite on the nose, this bottle showing less of the "Christmas cake" that I remarked in previous bottles. Firm in structure, the 2000 has more charm and vivacity than many of its Left Bank peers this vintage, plenty of cedar and pencil lead notes with a grippy yet detailed finish. You could actually begin broaching this now but it will offer another two decades of drinking pleasure. Tasted blind at a private dinner in Bordeaux. Drink Date 2018-2038. Rating 94/100. -Neal Martin-
Jancis Robinson:
Mid crimson with a pale rim. Savoury, burly, earthy nose. Mid weight and some density. Dry finish as though the oak were still in play. Zesty. Quite intense. After 24 hours it looked even paler and more skinny. Pretty rigid but not really very Latour. Drink Date 2014-2024. Rating 17.5/20. -Jancis Robinson-
