Chateau Latour - Pauillac 1er Grand Cru Classe Red 2005

Chateau Latour - Pauillac 1er Grand Cru Classe Red 2005Grape 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot Tasting notes Monumental and unhurried, the Chteau Latour 2005 is Pauillac distilled to its purest form. Eighty seven percent Cabernet Sauvignon, and it shows crme de cassis, graphite, and cedar on the nose with an intensity that fills the room before the glass reaches the lips. The palate is opulent yet precise, dark fruit layered over silky, monolithic tannins that have spent two decades

6x Bottles case:

Valentin Zusslin Gewurztraminer Bollenberg 2022 is an aromatic

designed more for the table than for aperitif alone

peppercorns

Pinot Meunier predominates (59%)

balanced and subtle bouquet of old port blended with cigar box aromas

Good long finish

Most of the plots are found midway up the slopes and spread over 5 villages

a Margaux of considerable ambition and pedigree

and Mediterranean freshness

leaving a lingering impression of dark berries and spice
