Enjoyed with three others which, politely, is two too many with Latour. This stuff is seriously good, even in vintages in which ‘good wine cannot be made’.

Quality and secondary fruit from the outset which was smothered in the second hour with a leathery, farmyardy funk but with a solid undercurrent of cassis and a remaining hint of violets throughout.

I keep finding myself drawn more and more to Latour. It’s probably a common Achilles Heel in the wine world.
