Latour 2011

Chateau Latour 2011 shows the elegance and precision typical of this legendary Pauillac first growth in a cooler, more classically styled vintage.

Deep, intense crimson in the glass, the wine combines floral and fruity notes on an elegant nose, with cassis, blackcurrant and a dark cherry seam on the palate. The texture is suave and fleshy yet delicate, showing lots of precision and concentration, with a powerful and complex finish that speaks of elegance, harmony and length.
