Touch of Brett on first open that subsided. Floral on the nose cherry and leather. Starting to get tertiary so aging faster than the 2005 pontet canet I had the other night. Not as expressive as I would have wanted.

While this shows finesse and structure, it was way too long to open. I was hoping for more secondary notes after 17 years but alas none were found. Revisit in 10-15 year from now. A bit of a waste opening this now unless you decant for hours

The Four Seasons Tasting 2006 Bordeaux First Growths (Aubergine Restaurant): 86 CS, 12 Merlot, 1 CF, 1 PV. With a deep garnet colour, the bouquet is intense and absorbing with undergrowth, black fruits, graphite, and pencil. Very pure and precise with mineral undertones, the palate reveals layers of complexity with blueberry, blackberry and black raspberry interwoven with pencil shavings. This is offset by a fine, penetrating acidity, making this full-bodied wine remarkably approachable. It backed up with super fine, resolved tannins. As it opens up, the density of fruit is exceptional, and the finish is tremendous.

Still has a way to go. Decanted 3 hours before drinking, was hitting its straps at 5 hours. Keep.

Beautiful dark earthy nose with some plum. On the palate dark berries, violets, coffee and graphite. Some nice wet moss in the background. Medium+ body with a medium+ acidity - quite high for a Latour. Very concentrated structure but not overdone. Intensive tannins - needs a proper decanting. Beautiful long and juicy finish. All in all an amazing complex and elegant Bordeaux blend which has at least 10-20 great years ahead. (IG)
