Château Latour 2016 presents a blend dominated by 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot. Inky purple, the wine exhibits subtle notes of blackcurrants and plums, intermingled with hints of tobacco, damp earth and a mineral edge. On the palate, it reveals a structured profile, reflecting tightly-knit dark fruit flavours alongside a layered complexity of iron and spice. The tannins are prominent yet refined, culminating in a lengthened finish marked by a characteristic gravelly texture.
