About Chateau Latour
If Lafite is renowned for elegance, Latour is prized for power. Vines were first planted on the site in the fourteenth century, but Latour's reputation stems from the late part of the seventeenth century, when the estate was inherited by Alexandre de Ségur. In recent years, no finer wine has been made in Bordeaux, for Latour displays an uncanny combination of deep color; Cabernet-dominated flavors of dark berries, licorice and minerals; the finest oak that money can buy; and great length on the aftertaste. Typically, the blend is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot.

Good red-ruby. Cassis, graphite and flowers on the nose. Juicy and nicely delineated, with good energy to the pretty flavors of dark fruits and spices. Just a hint of leafiness. Nicely balanced, essentially gentle wine with rather suave tannins.
