  • Eric brought this for his BD dinner in HK.

  • Tasted at an Evening with Friends alongside 2005 Mouton Rothschild and 2005 Chateau Larcis Ducasse. The Chateau Latour was, at first, not that approachable as we had opened and decanted the wines just prior to the main dinner course. We wanted to understand the evolution from bottle to glass from the beginning. With time the aromatics developed and were profound, the flavors of this truly outstanding Bordeaux coming through after the first to second hour of the dinner. While this wine remains very young, approach now with some reticence as holding for longer would be highly recommended. Certainly a wine that will last through the decades. I would reward myself another tasting in about 3 years, to follow the progression of what should become a blockbuster wine!

  • JD Friday Wine Group - GA Host (City Club FW - Wine Room): Tasted blind - fairly light in the glass. Nose of tertiary things - some leather, mushrooms. Raspberry and olives on the palate. I didn’t know where to go here. It was tasty but not fully developed. I ended up guessing a right bank bordeaux because I thought there was some cab franc and maybe merlot. I think with more time, this will evolve beautifully.

  • Commanderie dinner. Decanted for 3h. Farewell bottle I brought to share with my fellow commanders. After some disappointing showings of the 2005 Latour where I detected heat and rusticity, this one was much correct and in the Latour House style. Discrete nose of clean blue fruit, some oak spices still, the tannins are tightly woven, soft, dusty and precise, like in the 2010 style. Not a hint of tertiary notes. Still very closed, so I do not recommend opening this before 2030. That was the unanimous comment at the table. 96-97
