Château Latour à Pomerol | Pomerol
Red wine | France, POMEROL | 2017
The wine is deeply colored and has a strong nose of black fruits such as cherries, blackberries and currants, finished with sweet herbs and a nice dose of minerality.
The powerful mouth is full and soft and contains a meaty structure. Furthermore, a nice complexity and pleasant freshness to keep the wine elegant. An aftertaste as befits a large Pomerol.

About Château Latour à Pomerol
