LATOUR 14.5: The Quintessential First Growth Claret

As a Premier Cru Classé, Château Latour is universally acknowledged as the most consistently powerful and age-worthy of the Bordeaux First Growths. This 14.5% ABV expression is a testament to a superb, concentrated vintage, showcasing the very best of the Pauillac terroir.

Sommelier’s Tasting Profile

The wine presents a deep, almost black garnet hue. Aromatically, it is a complex tapestry of intense cassis, blackberry, pencil lead, and classic cedar wood. The palate is immensely structured and concentrated, yet the hallmark of Latour is the quality of its tannins-powerful, fine-grained, and perfectly integrated. It possesses a profound length, promising decades of evolution.
