Dense ruby purple, with the oak still showing a trifle too much, this 2005 is concentrated, rich, and possibly the most extracted and densest of any wine I have ever tasted from Latour-Martillac. Still youthful (with lots of cassis and graphite), this 2005 has entered its plateau of maturity. It should hit its prime in another 5 years and last a quarter of a century or more.
Tasted blind. Good intensity of fruit and a very dry end. Fresh and quite impressive and ambitious. Zesty and very Graves. 13%
Drink 2015-2027
