Chateau Latour France 2014 Pauillac Wine Weingut Carl Loewen This needs four or fiveThis has aromas of black fruit, olives, wet earth, dried lavender, cloves and bark. Bitter chocolate and walnuts, too. Its medium to full bodied with firm, tight grained tannins. Structured, with great freshness and length. Cedar notes on the lighter mid palate.
