Chateau Latour Pauillac 2015

Appearance: Deep garnet with a radiant intensity, hinting at the depth of flavor within.

Nose: The nose is initially restrained but opens with swirling to reveal a beautiful bouquet of blackcurrant and redcurrant preserves, juicy blackberries, and baked plums. As the wine evolves, more nuanced aromas emerge, including hints of incense, graphite, and delicate violet floral notes. A subtle touch of cedar and tobacco adds complexity.

Palate: On the palate, Château Latour Pauillac 2015 is powerful yet graceful, with a dense core of black and red fruits balanced by finely integrated tannins. The Cabernet Sauvignon dominance provides structure and depth, while the small amounts of Merlot and Petit Verdot add a touch of softness and spice. There’s a mineral-driven streak of graphite that runs through the wine, enhancing its precision. The wine is full-bodied and richly textured, with a harmonious balance of fruit, acidity, and oak.

Finish: The finish is long and layered, with persistent notes of cassis, violet, and a slight hint of dark chocolate, underscored by a fresh, mineral edge that lingers elegantly on the palate.
