Community Tasting Note

Sunday, March 21, 2021 - Extraordinary. A great mature Latour, sourced 5 years ago from K&L auction, very top shoulder ullage. Mahogany rim, deep ruby center. A blast of spearmint hits you as you approach the glass. But unlike a certain famous California Cabernet, it’s not vulgar since it gradually retreats back into the glass and integrates with the phenomenally intense black and blue fruit, as if someone somehow poured a dollop of the 2010 into the bottle. While there’s lots of secondary development this is more about the bright fruit, tannin and refreshing acidity. If you want leather or dead leaves, look somewhere else. Only a bit of dryness after a few hours betrays its age. I dare you to show me another fifty-five year old wine this impressive that is not Bordeaux.
