The fresh palate offers mature apple

Its lemon-lime acidity is almost puckering

Solid tannins support a thick texture

2004 Latour, Pauillac and cassis is readily perceptibleA terrific effort from Administrator Frederic Engerer and owner Francois Pinault, the dark ruby purple tinged 2004 Latour exhibits a strong cassis character intermixed with notes of crushed rocks, earth, cedar, and forest floor. Racy, elegant, but powerful with medium to full body, and sweet tannin, it will benefit from 5 7 years of cellaring, and should keep for three decades. It is a very impressive offering. (RP)
