■2005年ヴィンテージ情報■
2005年はブドウの萌芽から収穫まで生育期全般を通して好天が続き、また非常に乾燥し水分不足が続いた年でした。これほど乾燥した年にはブドウが水分ストレスから成熟を止めてしまう事がありますが、ラトゥールの畑ではブドウ樹の根が地中深く伸び、このような逆境にも耐えることが出来ました。日照量が多く気温も高い中、良い風も吹き風通しが良く、非常に凝縮した素晴らしい出来のブドウを収穫することが出来ました。(収穫日:9月26日〜10月6日)
2005年はカベルネ・ソーヴィニヨンの出来が特筆して素晴らしく、肉厚な果実味、凝縮感、ストラクチャーと全ての要素が揃う偉大なヴィンテージとなりました。非常に複雑でパワフルさのあるラトゥール2005年は、完熟した果実味とシルキーで滑らかなタンニンが特徴的、かつエレガントさを兼ね備えた偉大なワインです。CHATEAU LATOUR

The 2005 Latour was mind-blowingly profound in two recent tastings for this report. Deep and sensual to the core, the 2005 is utterly captivating. All the elements are so seamlessly put together. Graphite, creme de cassis, licorice, dark spice and lavender infuse the 2005 with so much energy. More than anything else, though, the 2005 is a Latour of texture and resonance. Even after several hours, the 2005 is fresh and full of energy. Wines like this are just life affirming. That's about all I can really say. Tasted two times. Antonio Galloni. Tasting date: April 2021

Very open and beautiful now with currants, light chocolate and spices. Incense as well. Full-bodied, tight and reserved with a fantastic center palate of fruit and firm tannins. Closed and hiding behind the structure and depth. Needs time to open still but already a joy to taste (drink!).

2005 was a very dry, warm and sunny vintage, causing vine stress in some areas of Bordeaux. Harvested from September 26 to October 6, the tannin/IPT levels were very high this year. The 2005 Latour is blended of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the rest Merlot and Petit Verdot. It is the biggest surprise of this tasting-until now, the wine was relatively closed and broody, but today the wine is just starting to reveal its personality-and what a stunner! Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it opens with provocative floral scents of roses and violets over a core of fresh blackcurrants, chocolate-covered cherries and black raspberries with hints of fertile loam, unsmoked cigars and black tea. Medium to full-bodied, firm, grainy and packed with muscular fruit, it has an epically long, savory finish sparked by floral notes. 12,000 cases were made.

How rare to confront a wine of this inner strength and perfect form. Grown at a 116-acre vineyard at the southern border of Pauillac, some of the vines now reaching 100 years of age on a gravel bar overlooking the Gironde, Latour harvests Cabernet Sauvignon with natural power. I could describe it as colors, from glistening ruby to purple-black then back to scarlet tannins that vibrate in red. Or just the pure, unadulterated flavor of black currant, unformed as a child is unformed, beautiful as a child is beautiful. However I might describe it, the wine is stronger than I am and will outlast me by decades. This is the most provocative and most brilliant Latour I have tasted on release. (10/2008)
Wine Enthusiast：100 ポイント
A great wine, the summation of a great vintage in Bordeaux. The core of richness, the dense, bone-dry tannins, the black currants, red berries and black plum skins are the elements, but it’s the way they have been integrated that makes this such an impressive wine. There is great elegance as well, a fabulous counterpoint to such power. Cellar for at least 15 years, but this will keep forever. ※Best of 2008, Cellar Selection※ (RV) (6/2008)
