Grand Vin de Château Latour 2023 – Pauillac, Cru Classé

The nose is beautifully built, precise, and offers an airy density and finesse. It expresses notes of pulpy blackberry, blueberry and small notes of roasted-juicy strawberry associated with touches of almost Mediterranean small fruits as well as discreet hints of fresh Punjab pepper, graphite and a very discreet hint of smoke and fresh nutmeg. The palate is beautifully juicy, fresh, mineral, balanced and offers an acidulous frame, a nice sparkle and energy, a nice definition and precision, aromatic depth, an airy side, aromatic material/richness, but all in balance and accuracy. It expresses notes of juicy/fresh cherry, juicy/fresh raspberry and more lightly – juicy/pulpy blackcurrant, hints of cornflower, tonka bean, mocha, toast, graphite, nutmeg, fresh/tangy blueberry, raspberry, cherry blossom, fresh gravel, fresh blond tobacco. The tannins are chalky and greedy. Good length. The palate offers roundness, an almost spherical side, ample, fresh, gourmand, shine/brilliance. Lovely suppleness and delicate fruity material, greediness and a softness of fresh fruit
