(Château Latour Grand Vin) Chateau Latour Vertical with Robert Parker and Latour's Frederic Engerer: Nose hinted of Madeira, along with strawberries and cream; elegant, strawberry, coffee flavors; a little Burgundian on the finish. Drinking well now. (Parker said it was like the '96, although taking a long time to develop.)

Preface: I am a huge Latour fan.....do not know of the prep given to this bottle.
Mid garnet in the glass. Nose was somewhat muted. There are florals and some cedar but not like in the wonderful '95 from tonight.
Palate was also muted/reduced with dark red fruit. Tastes 'old'. Lacks complexity at this stage or for this vintage?

We had it in the seafood dinner in 索罟湾 with the parents from SH. It was a conclusion to all other BDXs of the same vinatge, but it was still shy event after 2-3 hours decanting. The best comments was from Haut Brion.

Corked. Brought by a friend. Both 1986's (Pape Clement and Latour) at the dinner have been defective

**What did I miss once again and where did this wine go? A first growth 86? Last bottle and obviously a miss on all levels. Very weak for a Latour, but still very Bordeaux. More cedar laden with expected earthiness, but clipped and short. The best thing this wine has going for it was that it was rather light footed. Drink or Sell for the value.
