Beskrivelse
"2003 was one of the hottest, earliest Bordeaux vintages ever. Some vines suffered from lack of moisture, but old vines and clay subsoil at Enclos saw this vineyard through. The Merlot harvest occurred between September 8 and 13, and the Cabernet Sauvignon was picked between September 22 and 30. The 2003 Latour is a blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot. Six percent of the press wine was added to the final blend. It has a medium to deep garnet-purple color, then wow—it explodes from the glass with bombastic black and blue fruits, followed up by meat, wood smoke, sandalwood and Indian spice accents with underlying floral wafts. The palate is full, rich, velvety, seductive and very long on the finish. There were only 10,800 cases made (rather than the normal 15,000-20,000)."
– Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Bordeaux er et vindistrikt i Frankrig, hvor der årligt produceres 700 millioner flasker vin, heraf 80 % rødvin. Området er delt i tre områder: Venstrebredden, som ligger til venstre for Gironde-floden, hvor druen Cabernet Sauvignon dominerer. Højrebredden, som ligger til højre for Gironde-floden, og her dominerer Merlot-druen. Entre-Deux-Mers, som ligger syd for og mellem de to bredder – her produceres der primært hvidvin. De verdensberømte Sauternes ligger på vestbredden i distriktet Graves. Der findes følgende appellationer i Bordeaux: Médoc, Graves, Entre-Deux-Mers, Saint-Émilion, Fronsac, Bourg, Blaye, Pomerol, Sauternes, Saint-Croix-du-Mont og Cadillac.
