Pauillac 'Les Forts de Latour' 2016 Château Latour

Overview

A wine with an intense and deep red color. On the nose it is extraordinarily expressive, with fruity hints of blackcurrant and blueberries, hints of sweet spices and a touch of graphite. On the palate, it stands out for its round and velvety structure, with a softness that envelops the senses. The tannins are finely integrated, offering a silky texture that accompanies spicy aromas and notes of cocoa and liquorice. The finish is long, harmonious and surprisingly fresh, with a persistence that invites another sip.
