2004 Chateau Latour – Pauillac’s First Growth of Structure and Longevity

The 2004 Chateau Latour showcases the depth and precision of one of Bordeaux’s most renowned First Growth estates. From the heart of Pauillac, this vintage reflects Latour’s classic style—structured, age-worthy, and composed with quiet intensity.

Tasting Notes

Elegant aromas of blackcurrant, tobacco, and cedar lead to subtler tones of graphite, smoked herbs, and wet stone. On the palate, the wine is focused and tightly coiled, showing layers of dark plum, earth, and mineral-driven energy, wrapped in fine tannins and capped by a long, persistent finish.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

The estate’s historic Enclos vineyard, planted on deep gravel over clay subsoil, produces fruit of unparalleled concentration. The 2004 Grand Vin is composed of approximately **89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot**, aged for **18–20 months in 100% new French oak barrels**. It reflects meticulous selection and vinification from one of the Médoc’s most precise and consistent producers.

Investment & Collectibility

The 2004 Château Latour is admired for its slow evolution, classical structure, and long-term potential. As a certified First Growth from a traditional vintage, it holds enduring appeal among collectors. Perfect for your collection.

Vintage Specifics & Accolades

The **2004 Bordeaux vintage** is known for its structured, terroir-driven wines with moderate alcohol and great finesse—especially on the Left Bank.

The 2004 Latour checks in as a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and a splash of Cabernet Franc, all aged in new French oak. It shows the more elegant, silky style of the vintage, yet with plenty of Latour grandeur and depth in its ripe cassis, smoky mineral, graphite, and saddle leather aromas and flavors. It’s medium to full-bodied, impressively concentrated, and has serious length, as well as another two decades of longevity, although it’s certainly drinking beautifully today.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2004 Latour is perhaps evolving slower than I expected, although it remains one of the finest Left Bank wines of the vintage. It has that quintessential graphite-scented bouquet intermixed with blackberry and cedar, although the liquorice note that I observed previously has receded. Again, there is wonderful definition. The palate is full-bodied but surprisingly more sultry than I expected, especially here where I was able to directly compare it with the other 2004 First Growths. It delivers the "authority" you expect from Latour, although I might be inclined just to give it another 2-3 years in bottle. Tasted September 2016. Reviewed by: Neal Martin, Issue date: March 2017. Drinking window: 2020 - 2045.
