Merchant's description

Château Latour 2012 is a Left Bank Bordeaux from a prestigious Pauillac First Growth. This blend comprises 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot. The wine presents a deep garnet hue and reveals an evolving bouquet of dark fruits, notably blackcurrants and cherries, alongside graphite and subtle earthiness. On the palate, it exhibits a structured mouthfeel with pronounced tannins and notable acidity. The finish is marked by a blend of spice and mineral notes.
