2000 Latour 1er Cru Pauillac (Case - 12/75cl)

Chateau Latour is on the St Julien/Pauillac border and adjacent to Chateau Leoville Lascases. The generosity and heavenly balance of St Julien is combined with power and strength here to create what is for some, the finest vineyard in Bordeaux. 2000 was described as an exceptional year by the winemakes at Chateau Latour; the warm and dry summer allowing the grapes to ripen gradually and be picked at the optimum moment! The finished wine is perfectly balanced, with huge depth and power. It is drinking nicely at the moment, but will evolve further over the next decade or so!
