  Opened at the 4S in HK. P&P and served in small pours to many guests.
  
  Probably a mistake to P&P, but it just wasn't that kind of occasion to plan in advance too much. Still, this was performing really well and was a great change from the many wonderful Burgundies of the evening. This bottle felt like in that secondary stage between being fresh and primary versus becoming very earthy and having its tannins fully resolved. A very enjoyable Latour and thanks to E for sharing - this was a big hit with all the winemakers we were drinking this with.

  黑醋栗、黑莓、黑樱桃，香草、甘草和皮革，随着醒酒，演化出更多泥土、雪松、烟丝和微微的海盐培根。入口有优秀的酸度支撑，单宁集中而有力，形成不是非常宽广但扎实有层次的结构。香气的汹涌澎湃和结构在口中的收缩形成了鲜明的对比，而丰富有抓力的单宁负责引领着饮者，去向更深处寻求香气的慰藉、探索它的潜力。

  opened and decanted for 90 minutes... nose was beautiful but not alot of pop in the glass.. opened over next two hours and last sips were best (maybe I was intoxicated :) )

  limited notes, lovely fruit with good mid palate purity. perhaps lacking a little stuffing.

  Not much signs of aging, dark red. Nice nose. Decanted and drank over 2 hours. Smooth, deep but not particularly complex. My 2nd time with a 1st growth. While not a great vintage I was expecting more. I've had better bordeaux and bordeaux-like supertuscan's, Almaviva, etc., for a lot less $. Honestly based on this I'd spend more time investigating lesser known names that aren't overhyped and much more affordable. While a good vintage might be a lot better I doubt it's worth the money.
