A big and brawny “young” Latour. Extremely dark, verging on black, no orange at the rim. One taster detected some funky notes on the nose but no one else. Instead, big concentration of blackberry and cassis. Surprisingly modest tannins. Good acidity. Drinks very well now. But needs more time to develop nuance and complexity since it is monolithic just now.

Drink Bordeaux’s bottle. Superb, powerful, intense yet lifted by acidity and its balance. A lot of tobacco leaf to begin. Then Latour flavors of cassis and black licorice. Very Pauillac. Fully ready.

Nose is quite shy compared to the palate, but immediately theres a lot of cabernet flavors like blackcurrants. Amazing purity and richness on the full bodied palate. Also lead pencil and grafite. This is the style of Latour and ending in a long, long incredible finish.

Popped for my wife’s 40th. A beautiful wine with all the elements one would expect, but on this night it was outclassed and flat out beat by the 1990 Lynch Bages. Hard to believe but both my wife and I unanimously agreed. There was an element of barn that dragged this down. Sadly this was my first time having the 1990 (a favorite vintage of mine) and I don’t think I would buy another bottle for the price this fetches these days. Just not worth it.

Double magnum. Perfect Cellar. The whole room was filled with the perfume when the wine was poured. Insane perfume, chocolate, walnut, lots of fruit, could think it is now at its peak, but will last for a long time (20+ years) and will have a lot to offer. Wonderful Bordeaux!
