Usually I think of Louis Latour as a small step above cooking wine. However, after reading a few positive notes on CellarTracker, I grabbed this bottle a few years ago when I saw it for cheap just to see if it was actually ok. Well, 'ok' is about as nice of an adjective I'd use to describe it. Dark golden yellow with a little bit of fruit left, a little bit of acid, and a little bit of oxidation. I decanted this to see what would happen, and it actually did open up a lot, becoming far more interesting by the end of the night. While we didn't even come close to drinking the entire bottle, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, it was fun to have a glass!

Another fantastic bottle, great color, fantastic stony finish, and no sign of excess wood.
Maybe the best bottle of this I have had in quite some time!
