Description

2005 Château Latour, Pauillac, BordeauxFive minutes after you have swallowed this wine, you can still taste its entirety. Even by Latour's lofty standards, this is remarkable. This is a huge, dense, closed wine packed with cassis, cream and minerals of awesome intensity. As you might expect, the tannins here are phenomenally rich and ripe. It surely has a long and glorious future ahead of it, with no sharp edges and a wonderful grace and balance. This will be one of the all time great

lemon and orange blossom

the 1996 has a linear class

unsmoked cigars

with firm tannin providing sturdy backbone

with a twist of salinity to confirm the fact that the majority of the fruit is sourced from the great village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger

each sip offering a well-balanced and heartwarming experience that captivates the senses

fresh and lively

with an edge of leather and gunflint

through to cedar and spice box

meaning a wine of finesse and elegance

5% of the wine is aged in wood before spring bottling and the ensuing lengthy somnolence wherein the alchemical process of autolysis weaves its patient magic over nearly a decade

I can tell you that this was the ‘old style’ and different from the 1980s
