Merchant's description

Château Latour 2006 is a First Growth red wine from Pauillac in Bordeaux. This 600cl bottle is a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, with only 38% of the total production selected for the grand vin. The wine was aged for 18 months in 100% new French oak barrels, resulting in a dense ruby-purple colour. Charcoal, cassis and forest floor scents precede a rich palate where polished tannins lead to a final, mineral-driven flourish.
