Saturday, June 22, 2013 - Colour: Very youthful, betrays its reserves already in coulour. Dark core with cherry-red brightening on the rims.
Nose: Primal a very reserved & closed nose, with some time in the glass notes of truffle, leather, a case of spices, dark chocolate and walnut shell. After about one hour in the glass the fruit appears more & more. More dark, earthy fruits like Black-Cherry and cassis.
Palate: Good mouthfeel. Power & elegance in a great combination. Still reserves left. The acidity & tannins are quite present.
My first Latour ever, maybe I expected too much. Was a bit disappointed by the nose. The palate was very good.
