1990 Château Latour Grand Vin Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend

Double decanted and served after 3 hours; definitely need to extract sludge. Developed superb richness over time. Have had a number of bottles over 20 some years and this was the best showing. Last glass, at five hours, was the best.

1990 Château Montrose St. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend

Beautiful compelling fruit. Tanins were a bit harsh. Decanted for four hours; should have done six.

10/8/15, 4:29 AM - That is a great bit of perspective! I have a number of old bordeaux wines and it is terrible to not open them at the right time. Cellar Tracker comments often provide good information on the timing in years but not so much on the hours of decanting. I will not decant my 1990 Margaux before tasting. Thanks!
