Magnum. Double decanted.
Nose had blackcurrants, black cherries with hints of sous bois and cocoa. Superb concentration. Hedonistic.
Tannins resolved; silky soft mouthfeel. Perfect streak of acidity to balance the richness of fruit. Medium finish.
Amazing wine blessed by amazing condition.

2000 Château Latour Grand Vin

Decanted 1.5 hours. Enjoyed over the next 3 hours.
Nose had blackcurrants with touches of vanilla and sandalwood. Opulent, elegant and deep.
Palate had blackcurrants, dried roses and cedar. Immense weight on the midpalate. Velvety mouthfeel with >1 min long finish.
Wine fully opened up at the 2nd hour of drinking.
An undoubtedly complex wine that I feel has past its adolescence. Still a long way to its peak, but, given enough air, already very delightful at this stage.

Pnp. Drank over 3 hours. Initially greeted with red fruits on the nose; notes of mushrooms and sous bois began to dominate after the first hour. Acidity and tannins still kicking at the ripe age of 36, but overwhelms any remaining character of the fruit that is left, if any. Lack of concentration and length. Agree with previous notes that this is past its peak.
