Le Pauillac de Chateau Latour Red Bordeaux Blend

Textbook example of balance and restraint. Wine of the night. Poise, balance, grace, and some.
Cinnamon and cherries on the nose. Palate displays a smooth, supple presence. Finishes with black fruits, depth and robust tannins. This has years ahead of it. WOTN for all of us.

Missing a little on the mid palate but wow what a wine for a THIRD wine!

Young with upside

This has first growth pedigree written all over it. This parcel was released from Latour in 2016. I think this is their third bottling. Very solid effort.

I had this beauty at a wine tasting. Representing about 25% of their production, the wine is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, and 1% Cabernet Franc. Aromas of sweet dark berry fruits with complex aromas of spice and cedar. On the palate multiple layers of berry fruit, cherry and raspberry, leather, cacao and licorice. Silky smooth tannins, full-bodied, delicious, lingering finish. Hard to believe it’s their third label! Wow!!

Outstanding structure....notes of red currant, dark chocolate, licorice, cedar

Just an infant at this point but is a solid representation of its bigger brothers. All the elements are in this wine but they are so tightly wound it's going to take time and patience for this wine.

This is the third wine of Latour and not the $900 version. But it is quite good. Austere, tannic, with a gamey nose. The fruit is still inviting, with some plum and red fruit.

interesting wine, but two glasses were the limit.
