Pauillac, Haut-Médoc, Médoc, Bordeaux, FranceThe gravitas of Latour could not be denied in the Master Blend blind tasting, and while it is still so young and tight, the potential and confidence of this wine was immense. Subtle floral perfumes - black and red raspberry, dusty gravels, black florals entice on the finessed nose. A complex and intriguing palate reveals graceful black cherry, scented cola, gentle cassis, wild raspberry, mineral, graphite and gravels - punctured with upstart youthful acidity and spice. Beauty balance even now - poised in its youth and with decades of time to go. Wolf Blass Master Blend Classification Tasting Vancouver 2015.Tasted: 20 April 2015Tasted by: Prices:

Pauillac, Haut-Médoc, Médoc, Bordeaux, FranceFor many this was the wine of the tasting and while I‘ll admit it was excellent it may have suffered by its placement after the intensely rich Harlan. The blend is 90.5% cabernet sauvignon mixed with 9.5% merlot and .5% petit verdot. This has all the freshness and minerality you could want in a Bordeaux along with the classic blackberry, cassis, coffee lead pencil and spice. Surprisingly silky and round for Latour and certainly destined to improve in the bottle over the next decade. Should be ready by 2020 and hold through 3035.
