Community Tasting Note
NarunP Likes this wine:
Sunday, December 25, 2022 - 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, and the balance Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc
Dark core, reddish hue, compact rim. Fresh, though opaque with fine sediment.
Bouquet is layered with fresh blackberry, currant, red cherry, dried herb, forest floor, sauteed mushroom, smoke, still traces of charred cedary wood.
Palate is resolved. Medium acidity, medium body, dry. Lots of fresh dark fruits still. Blackberry, dark cherry, black olive, graphite, gunpowder. Quite lengthy on the finish.
Classy Latour that has just entered its peak drinkability. This is not a firework or a catchy love song. It is a ballad that soothes your soul. I had blockbusters before but this is as classy as it gets.
I popped the cork open and put it back before starting drinking 2 hours later.
93.
