Description
Grape: 91.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7.5% Merlot, 0.5% Cabernet Franc and 0.5% Petit Verdot.
Despite the heavy rain in September, the wines were very richly coloured and classy, showing great power and a beautiful liveliness, with a pronounced expression of Cabernet. The fruit is less exuberant, but the “Latour” character is very present. A wine that will benefit from very long ageing and that will require a long time in the bottle before showing a more integrated structure.
Winemaking
