Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, March 26, 2008 - Amazingly pale for Latour, hints of ruby and no signs of browning round the edges. Sweet pencil lead on the nose.
Clearly never a blockbuster, but nice light body with some tannins remaining to hold it all together as a nicely balanced blend of violets and smokey fruits. Did not feel 30 years old from a vintage expected to last only to 2000. I'd expect it to fall off fairly rapidly as the tannins fade
