Sunday, February 3, 2019 - 2nd Annual Sommelier Appreciation Dinner (Undisclosed Location): The Latour cranked the fruit intensity up several notches from the Lafite. This cranks the fruit intensity up several notches from the Latour - somehow manages to be even more inky and saturating though in much lighter, redder tones than the deep blue/black Latour, with super-fresh, almost snappy cranberry and raspberry flavors, turning deeper on the back end with something almost charcoal-like. The tannin is much gentler than the Pauillacs. A marvelous terroir tour with everything playing to classic type.
