Great concentration and a previously unseen quantity of tannins characterized the wines, which possessed extraordinary aromatic intensity, freshness and precision. Rich, ripe and mineral, with a very long, lingering finish. An exceptional year which will improve for many years.

From 2007, Chateau Latour set up a Proof Tag system that provides traceability for all bottles and authentication for the Grand Vin. There is a code on each bottle neck which can be entered on their website to obtain information about the wine.
