A long-time storage client of Iron Gate who recently moved his wines from US to Toronto. He became interested in wine in the 1990s and began seriously collecting around 20 years ago. The bottles were acquired at various stores in New York and directly from the vineyards and have been stored in a temperature and humidity-controlled cellar.
The score for 2006 Chateau Latour Grand Vin Pauillac is 95 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - he 2006 Latour performed even better from bottle than from barrel. Only 38% of the production (10,000 cases) made it into the grand vin, a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest primarily Merlot and a small amount of Cabernet Franc. From barrel, I thought it was a modern day version of the 1996 or 1986, and certainly the 1996 comparison still holds. I thought it was somewhat austere from barrel, but that is no longer an issue. This is a beautifully rich Chateau Latour boasting a dense ruby/purple color, a sweet, smoky, charcoal, cassis, graphite, and forest floor-scented nose, full body, an attractive freshness, and sweet, noble tannins. This layered Latour is one of the vintage's top dozen or so wines. Anticipated maturity - 2013-2030.
