floral nose with minerals and earth and a touch of coffee. a little sharp on the finish.

Flight 2 (2 notes)

Red
1982 Château Latour à Pomerol France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol
99 points
opened for two hours without decanting. by far best bottle in recent years. soaring nose of tobacco and toast. great intensity. superb.
Red
1982 Château Lafite Rothschild France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac
94 points
opened for 2hrs without decanting. completely overwhelmed by Latour a Pomerol side by side. good but not great. perhaps could have done with some decanting.
