Grand Vin de Chateau Latour Grand Cru Classe 2015

Château Latour, a First Growth estate in Pauillac, draws its Grand Vin from old vines in the heart of the Enclos vineyard. The 2015 is 97.1% Cabernet Sauvignon, with 2.6% Merlot and 0.3% Petit Verdot, matured in new oak barrels.

Blackcurrant and blueberry are lifted by violets, with tobacco, cocoa and liquorice adding savoury depth. The fruit is concentrated and fresh, with firm, fine-grained tannins. Georgina Hindle awarded it 98 points in Decanter, praising the clarity of the fruit and the grip of the tannins.
