Château Latour 2016, Pauillac - 100 Point (Seven Perfect Critic Scores)IN BOND LAST FEW CASES AVAILABLE PRE ORDER The 2016 can be uttered in the same breath as the 1900, 1924, 1959, 1961, 1982 and 2010. Magnificent. Neal Martin Appellation Pauillac Owner Francois Pinault TASTING NOTES The 2016 Latour showed in stunning fashion out of barrel. Bottled in July 2018, it has retained a very deep, almost opaque color. The utterly beguiling bouquet features blackberry, graphite, crushed rose petals and a touch of licorice,

which means `at the foot of the mountains`

It’s medium-bodied with really fine bubbles and balance

this is a fresh and fruity wine that carries blackcurrant

He developed the then small firm to become the fourth largest champagne house

an intense nose of summer fruits including blackberry

Another superb vintage of Sea

the vineyard sits between Pouilly-Fuissé and Saint-Véran appellations so is an exceptional fine wine at an affordable price

Score: 90/92 Neal Martin

the grapes were whole bunch pressed before fermentation in 300L French oak Hogshead barrels (70% new
