Too sweet/extracted. Nothing to make itself unique.

Nice dark fruit. Not sure it’s worth the price in a blind tasting, but the idea of drinking a Latour makes the experience of drinking the wine that much more enjoyable.

Fine. Nothing special. Maybe worth the $30 I paid for it. I guess

This seems to be in an odd place. Very very rich. The cab franc seems to be overpowering making for a wine that is too sweet, too bold(?) and lacks any nuance.

Ok, but I think the franc was a bit too extracted.

On the open a ton of viscosity, then that quickly gives way to a boxing match of sweet tannin. The wine stains the glass a beautiful purple. If you could drink the color you would have a 100pt wine! Blackberry and some hints of leather. I needed another settled wine in my other hand to catch my breath while drinking this. But damn it was good and fun.

Great little Friday night wine, exceptional value. Creamy Lemon, flowers, good acidity, light oak. Really tasty.

Really good. Not extraordinary. Drank after an 05 De may de Certan. The 7 years made a BIG difference. Lots of blueberry, some vanilla. The 15.2 was very noticible.

Much better than the last bottle. Dark. Dark cherry, some gravel, tannic and a little hard. I have to think this is going to be better in a few years. But, it’s not bad now by any means.

Nose was incredible at the pop of the cork, but really muted after 2 hours in the decanter. Lots of black fruit and some spice from the PV. I am wondering if the is better without a decant

Enjoyable, but there was a spice note that not everyone appreciated

I wish the alcohol was in the 14's as it took away from the solid flavors.

thin and tangy, nothing I would want to serve to guests

6/29/2017 - buchch2 Does not like this wine:

Not a pleasant wine to drink. Tart, overly acidic, little if any fruit. No balance. Makes me very disapointed in garigiste. last two wines from them have been a total bust.

2nd bottle of3 purchased from JJ Buckley. Both bottles I have opened have had compromised corks and thus bad juice. I hope to get lucky with #3.

Nice, really nice weekday wine. Good dark fruit, some earth and very nice minerality.

Good, not great, it will probably be better tomorrow

Very smooth with depth and purity. Great drinking wine with dinner. Should get more if it trades at a decent price due to being a down vintage

Light strawberry tart.

89 for the first 2 hours, a bit too tannic even after a 90 minute slow ox. After 5 hours open smooth and a 92. Needs more time or a long decant

Weird acidic funk. Not pleasant. Either corked or just not good.

Dark red fruit. Decent body and finish after it opened up a bit.

Bright red fruit with a little earth. Not a bad mid-week wine
