Its not easy to become a second wine! You must have the guts, the talent and the finesse. This wine being the second wine of Chateau Latour( 1st Growth in 1855 Bordeaux Classification) has its depth and finesse and I can say that this is the best second wine amongst the rest of the second wine from the first growth. This is also the door for you to try Pauillac or Chateau Latour in an afforable way!
2005 is a very big and good vintage in Bordeaux especially in Pauillac and St Julien. The wine here has a very dark red color (potential ageing for another 10 years), gives a very aromatic blackcurrant notes with cassis,eucalyptus cigar box notes and deep espresson of minerality. The palates shows a very tannic and a med plus body with plum, mineral a lingering spice and end with a very long finish. this is very complex and interesting wine to be drunk with meal (barbeque stuff). 93/100 Han wine tasted on 3 Oct 2010
