Description:
Château Latour 2007 is a classic Pauillac that emphasizes elegance and refinement over sheer power. The wine displays a complex bouquet of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, tobacco, graphite, and subtle earthy notes. Medium to full-bodied, it offers remarkable balance, fine-grained tannins, and impressive precision. While approachable earlier than some vintages of Latour, it retains the structure and depth expected from this renowned First Growth estate.
