Community Tasting Note

  March 31, 2023 - Beat the '90 Latour: My contribution. Echoing what PCLIN said, I never had a Unico that moved me but I put the bottle in the capable hands of Dibbs who gave it the ideal preparation, i.e. five hours of air, for it to show wonderfully.
  
  This was the first wine served and it was roaring from the start. Incredibly seductive nose that rivalled the best Burgs or Piedmont - so lifted and floral at the same time with a distinct roasted coffee note. Such a youthful palate that it could have passed off as a wine half its age, silky and pure dark red fruits but with a firm backbone. I value the nose and texture as the most important characteristics in wines and this scored full marks for both in my book. Did fade slightly towards the end of dinner though. Brilliant wine.
