Tasting notes
Château Latour 2002 is one of those celebrated wines from Bordeaux's top five châteaux. Made with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from Médoc, it combines power and elegance. You know, when you open this bottle, make sure you're ready for a special experience.
In "The Drops of God," volume 6, this wine makes an appearance during a scene at the Ishikawa brothers' shop where they taste the top five châteaux. The wine's aroma and flavor are likened to Rachmaninoff's Symphony No. 2—complex and majestic. Imagine the rich, layered notes reminiscent of a deep Russian forest. It's quite something.
The wine's deep garnet color with a hint of orange at the rim shows its age. When you take a whiff, you'll find rich aromas of black cherry and cassis, with earthy and spicy undertones. On the palate, there's a vibrant acidity and fine tannins that balance each other beautifully. It's a wine that reveals something new with each sip, full of complexity.
The finish is remarkably long, like an orchestra playing on your tongue. It's best enjoyed decanted and in a large glass, savoring each moment. This is the kind of wine that's perfect for a special occasion.
