Community Tasting Note

Friday, December 31, 2021 - A memorable New Year's Eve dinner: From 75cl, perfect cork, P+P. Dark but translucent. This was delightful shortly after pouring, and improved further in the glass. Beautiful blackcurrant and lead-pencil scent; super-clean, medium-bodied entry with just a touch of 2004 brusqueness under its smooth texture, but no green tannins; seamlessly silky mid-palate; decently long clean, moreish finish. This does exactly what it says on the label: a text-book Pauillac with no hard edges, perhaps a bit one-dimensional, but so very delicious. 15-20 years after the vintage seems an excellent time to open Pauillac de Latour in less-than-stellar vintages, as I previously found with the 2002. Now-2025? 90P
