This 2005 Grand Vin de Château Latour reveals an intense and complex bouquet of concentrated cassis, blackberry, and dark plum, harmoniously interwoven with classic notes of cedar, tobacco, graphite, and subtle leather. With aeration, hints of violet, cigar box, and forest floor emerge. On the palate, it is full-bodied, powerful, and remarkably structured, yet possesses an underlying elegance. A core of dense dark fruit is framed by firm, velvety tannins and vibrant acidity, leading to a profound, exceptionally long finish marked by lingering fruit, mineral, and a savory complexity.
