Pauillac de Château Latour AOC

Château Latour has been making exquisite wines since 1855 in Pauillac, France. It is one of the most prestigious winemakers in the region and offers three world-class wines. It is also the first winemaker in the region to create a third wine - Pauillac de Latour. This wonderful wine uses vines that were not considered suitable for the second wine - Le Forts de Latour. This is not an admonishment to Pauillac de Latour at all. In fact, the expertise of the winemakers have taken the grapes from these vines and created a truly special third wine. It has been produced annually since 1990.

The wine is bold, rich, and intense. It offers beautifully matured tannins as well as a nice rich dryness and a refreshing acidity. It is silky, smooth, and soft on the tongue. To the eye: deep bold reds greet the eye. On the nose: notes of red and dark fruits, such as cherry and plums are noticed with hints of tobacco. On the palate: delicious plums, ripe cherries, tobacco, and oak massage the palate. The tannins are well-rounded and intense. The finish is medium to medium-long. This wine needs time to breathe before consuming and would do well from decanting.
