Nice wine. It does ring a bell and you feel that it does come from the great deep Latour Grand vin but really really from afar. 2008 might have been a little early to open though. We only finished half a bottle and I finished the rest the next night. 24 hours in decanter REALLY made it better, so I think it was actually early to open.

Fully mature, the truffle, and tobacco notes come through loud and clear. Medium bodied, still holding on to its red fruit core, this will be best over the next few years.

Drinking beautifully. Nice red fruit with oak finishing with mineral notes in smooth tannins.

In a good spot to consume if you enjoy the secondary phase of this left bank BDX.

I think corked, no fruit flavor, wet dog smells. Yuck! Second bad bottle. Wonder if I bought a fake wine.
