Leans more Napa than Bordeaux. Ripe red fruit, with a tiny hint of earth in the background. Not much nuance and hot. Triggers my acid reflux before I could down a glass. To me it didn’t seem like it’ll be great in two decades, but who knows
Nose: 88 Palate: 85-86

Released from the cellars of Château Latour in 2022. A blend of 53% Cabernet Franc, 40% Merlot and 7% Petit Verdot, 20% new oak, 13% ABV. Decanted for four hours. Rich colour. I know that it's just the third wine, but on the floral and fragrant nose, the purity and precision of the fruit expression, the gravelly depth and the quality of the oak do have something special. The palate displays real finesse, it is firm and energetic, cool and fresh, with perfect weight, bright red fruit and finely delineated tannins. The finish is still a bit tight, but it is juicy and has excellent length. It is priced like a second growth and that is just about right. This is approchable now, but everything is in place and there is no lack of structure, so it should last for another 10-15 years with ease.

Quite good, still very tight, shows potential, leans very cult Napa at the moment

pleasant cherry though a tad confected to my taste, overall nice, but a bit simplistic. Not really sensing the Pauillac signature here.
