"The 2017 Pauillac is a gorgeous wine. Unlike most of the Latour releases of these last few years, it needs more time in bottle! There is plenty of textural depth, but the acids are high and the tannins are a bit larger in size than is typical for the Pauillac. I very much like the wine's exuberance and power. The 2017 is still very vibrant. The finish delivers good length and compelling purity. I like it now - on the fruity side and in this flush of vivacious youth - but for those who prefer a mature fruit cake and cigar box style, give it a good 5-6 more years in the cellar and enjoy it over the following decade. Beautiful."
