Château Latour 1948 Pauillac

Château Latour 1948 is a mature-vintage, Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine from the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux. Château Latour is one of the oldest Bordeaux wine producing properties in Pauillac, with a history dating back to the 14th century, and was classified as a First Growth in 1855. It is widely regarded as one of the most consistent of the elite châteaux, with a reputation for wines of remarkable longevity. On tasting, the 1948 was soft, supple, round and packed with spicy cassis, opulent sweet cherries, tobacco, truffle and cigar box. Brick red in colour, the finish was long, clean and impressive.
