crushed rocks and melted licorice
and tons of tannin on the finish
mineral taste dominates
and then get set for what I suspect will be a mind-blowing transformation over the next 30 years+

2019 Chateau Latour Pauillac Premier Grand Cru Classé Brunello Di Montalcino crushed rocks and melted licoriceParker: 99+ The 2019 Latour is a profound wine in the making, and it will surely emerge as one of the most long lived wines of the vintage, as well as one of the greatest. Unwinding in the glass with scents of rich cassis fruit, English walnuts, cigar wrapper, black truffle, loamy soil and violets, its full bodied, layered and muscular, with huge depth at the core, ripe tannins and lively acids, concluding with a long, seemingly interminable finish.
