Community Tasting Note

Monday, December 30, 2019 - One last bottle found in bottom of the cellar which I must admit I thought we'd already drunk. Decanted gently for half an hour or so. Colour is still a goodish medium deep red. Nose is soft mulberry type ripe fruit and that distinct 'walnut' Latour flavor. It's completely softened out, tannins gone, getting earthy-cedary towards the finish. All in all classic classy Bordeaux, though the finish is now fading and I suspect it's starting a slow decline. What is great is the 12.5% alcohol - an elegant, refined and lovely top Bordeaux from a so-so vintage and aged 25, just reminds one of what Bordeaux used to be...
