Pauillac de Latour 2020 DEMI 375 ML

The 2020 Pauillac de Latour is similar to the bottle tasted blind at the Southwold tasting the previous January. Scents of black fruit and graphite emerge on the nose, still with that touch of melted road tar. The palate is medium-bodied with blackberry and blueberry fruit, perhaps leaning more toward the former with a tad of strictness on the finish. If there is a better Troisième Vin than this, I've yet to taste it.
