Château Latour--Vintage 2005
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting Notes: Grand Vin cépage blend: Cabernet Sauvignon 87 Merlot 12 Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot 1 Very deep, velvety sheen, fairly intense purple; low-keyed but distinctive, newly-sawn wood and mocha; sweet, full-bodied (13.5 alcohol), very fleshy, good length, teeth-gripping, mouth-drying tannin. At the château, April 2006 (****) 2020 - 2035. M. B.
This has one of the highest percentages (87 of Cabernet Sauvignon ever seen in the Grand Vin at Château Latour, for 2005 was a very great vintage for that grape, in the Médoc. In colour, very deep purple, with spectacularly rich, openly spicy aromas. The wine is richly structured, broadly built, intensely fruity, with sustained flavours and succulent, mouth-coating tannins. A. H.
