September 8, 2023 - (SYP) blind tasting. guessed 1994 Haut Brion
PNP - A classic left bank nose, with tobacco, savoury spices and blackberries. It is fresh and has good fruit on the palate. The finish is rather dry. 91-921 person found this helpful Comment -

July 8, 2022 - Off-vintage Latour are so consistent. Elegant hue with strong pencilbox characters. Light but pleasurable. 92

November 28, 2020 - Fra Jeroboam. Kjølig og klassisk. Mørk frukt. Blyantspiss og lær. Heldigvis lite tobakk. Fullmodent og pent. Et snev støvete, men ikke verst. Finslipt i munn med syrlig og asketisk frukt. Ikke den største årgangen, men godt er det!

August 26, 2020 - Medium-bodied, with bright, sharp red berries, cranberry, leaf, cedar, wet forest, herb and cigar box aromatics. Not quite lightweight, on the palate, there is a touch of austerity and rusticity to the tannins along with piquant red fruits and herbs in the finish. This is not a wine destined for further aging, if you have a bottle, drink up.
