Community Tasting Note

Friday, February 9, 2024 - Four Decades of Left Bank Bordeaux with Friends (New York): It's hard not to be romantic about wine when you find a label-less Châtour Latour, are worried for about two months regarding whether it'll drink well or not, and then you wind up with a 96 point wine on the night when you do eventually open it. The first bottle of five on the night in a tasting that saw us cover four decades of Bordeaux wine (60s-90s) and this stole the show. The nose was an aromatic treat, packed with scents of spice, cedar, toasted coconut, grapefruit, tobacco and oregano. The tannins from the hot 1968 summer mellowed down to produce a palate that had incredible for its age as notes of redcurrants and crème de cassis were balanced out with peppercorn, meat and a tinge of leather across some reasonably good acidity. Just an absolute joy on the night and shows you the beauty of mature Bordeaux.
