October 10, 2014 - A small gathering - two perfect wines and questionable 59 Latour (Washington D.C.): Pop and pour, explosive classic Pauillac nose of intense cassis, lead pencil, sweet plum and cedar. With a bit of air, intensely sweet nose of cassis, a hint of licorice, cedar, lead pencil, bell pepper and eucalyptus. Excellent concentration, incredible silky palate, beautifully integrated sweet tannins and lovely seamless long finish. This is a truly sophisticated classic claret with amazingly sweet yet fresh nose and unbelievably sophisticate palate, so intense yet so silky and airy. Perfect harmony and balance. Monumental wine that is still quite young but perfectly enjoyable both intellectually and emotionally. This came from the same source as my last 100 point bottle, reaffirming that a perfectly cellared bottle of the 82 Lafite is as great as Bordeaux can get. Incredible privilege to drink this monumental wine.
