The nose is layered and refined, opening with blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, graphite and cigar box, followed by notes of violets, dark chocolate and crushed earth.\n\nOn the palate, it is full-bodied and tightly structured, with impressive tannins wrapped around dense black fruit, liquorice, tobacco and mineral nuances. The finish is long, precise and persistent, suggesting a wine built for decades of evolution rather than immediate gratification. While enjoyable now with sufficient decanting, it has the capacity to age beautifully for many years, gaining even more complexity and finesse over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau Latour is located in Pauillac, on Bordeaux’s left bank, where deep gravel soils and excellent drainage help the vines produce fruit of great concentration and freshness.
