  May 17, 2023 - Breathtakingly perfumed of red & black fruits like red cherry, cassis, mulberry, touches of lead pencil, cedar box, espresso, mushroom and spice aromas.The richness, freshness and minerality all lead the way to pure pleasure. It cruises so smoothly on palate, touching layer by layer, very regal, very classy, tannins are almost invisible but yet well-refined, a great, great finish that just won't quit. The balance of the Grand Vin is so incredibly exquisite. The prime time is now, no point waiting. This is a sublime wine. I wished I can sniff and sip this wine the whole night until the sunrise.

  March 23, 2023 - Chateau Latour tasting lunch March 23 2003. WOTD together with 1975. Already very accessible, smooth, extremely pleasurable.

  January 2, 2023 - First growth dinner at Otto e Mezzo in Hong Kong. Slow-oxed for several hours and then evolved in the glass.
  
  Most powerful of the line-up, as to be expected. Punchy aromatics, lots of dark fruit coming through; still tannic though not unpleasant or bitter, and everything was balanced by bright acidity.
  
  Give this air, but preferably give it more time. Revisit in 5 years, and I believe there is some upside left.

  November 13, 2022 - 11 years after purchase, finally get to taste. Super dark purple hue, rich aroma. Subtle but rich first taste, mushrooms, dark fruits, licorice, hints of leather and ash. Middle is also subtle, soft tannins with a quick finish, medium linger, classic earthy barny finish but also soft and subtle.

  November 4, 2022 - Last time I had this beauty was more than 4 years ago and the wine has shown some evolution albeit at the typical Latour glacial pace. Viscous deep crimson color, hardly any signs of aging. Decanted and aerated for 90 minutes then drank over an hour. Mesmerizing nose which I think is the best thing about this Latour; dark red and black fruits, perfumed cassis, cigar box, some gravel. On the palate very dense entry, solid dark fruits and cassis, amazing depth and power mid palate, perfect balance, however finishes slightly short and dry so I am limiting my rating of this beauty to 94. Very nicely structured wine entering its drinking window.
