A big and powerful wine with tannins that are compact and dense. The dryness of the tannins go right to the core surrounded by chocolate sweet fruit and dark berry flavors. The wine is well structured big and bold with plenty of firmness promising aging.
\"The 2007 Latour (the first wine made in the newly renovated cellars) exhibits a dense ruby/purple color as well as a sweet expansive bouquet of black fruits and spring flowers interwoven with a striking minerality. The wine???s dense medium to full-bodied flavors are surprisingly evolved with soft tannins an ample generous mouthfeel and an endearing texture. Undoubtedly one of the longest lived wines of the vintage the 2007 Latour should last for two decades or more.\"
Good bright ruby-red. Rather backward nose hints at cassis black cherry shoe polish graphite minerals and spices. Sweet broad and rich but with enticing fresh minerality giving energy to the rather full-bodied middle palate. The wine's cassis fruit is complicated by an almost decadent floral element. Finishes perfumed and very long with wonderfully lush supple fine-grained tannins.
