93 Points

Monday, November 19, 2012 - Alcohol :: 12.5%
Decanted for 60mins. This is better in term of overall harmony and liveliness compared to the bottle that I have had 2weeks ago. I must admit that the nose is better than the palate today. Broad and perfume, it has seductive sweet blackcurrant fruits, violet, cedar, graphite and complex by the crushed rock and sweet cigar box note. It is not close or too tight on the palate but you know that the wine is tightly coiled with lot of stuffs going on underneath even the flavor is quite complex for now. What stood out today is the freshness and purity. Heavy weight but the lightness to it shows of the class of a 1st. Long finished with good detail but not exactly great today. This could be better in another 5-7yrs but I doubt this will ever be a great Latour. 93+ - 95
