2015 Pauillac de Ch Latour
Buying options
Tasting notes
Plush red and black plums soar out of the glass, complimented by blackberries, red and black cherries and a beautifully lifted menthol note. On the palate, this is nicely balanced, an elegant red with a sense of power to the pure juicy fruit. Framed by silky tannins and an opulent finish, this is a joy to taste now, though will really show its true promise after a few years in the cellar.

A blend of 54.2% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41.7% Merlot, and 4.1% Petit Verdot, the 2015 Le Pauillac de Chateau Latour is deep garnet in color. It waltzes out of the glass with ready-for-fun scents of black cherry preserves, warm cassis, and Christmas cake, plus suggestions of spice box, sandalwood, and potpourri. The medium-bodied palate is finely knit with great freshness and plush tannins, delivering a lingering spray of exotic spices on the finish.
Latour's 2015 Pauillac is gorgeous. Deep, pliant and super-expressive, the 2015 is utterly captivating. Silky tannins wrap around a core of fruit as this radiant, inviting wine shows off its charms. There is a level of purity to the 2015 that is remarkable. In the past, the Pauillac has at times been a bit wild. In 2015, it is the brightness of the fruit that makes the deepest impression.
Medium bodied, soft, juicy and sweet, with a real Pauillac character, you can take this home and drink it now, for its soft, sweet, cassis, cocoa, cherry and tobacco character.
