Community Tasting Note

96 Points
Wednesday, February 24, 2021 - Delicious from first pour, ripe, open and surprisingly fleshy but feeling very well built. Really opened up after about an hour or so. An almost merlot like lusciousness Coming through which I’ve never seen in the 2001. I’ve had a few bottles of the 01 and this was by far the best experience. it’s really hit it’s strides. given this is the latour clearly no rush I guess a couple of decades of ageing runway left but it’s so good now why wait?

I am going to pop up my 2001 Les Forts in September following your steps ... Nice TN btw.
Cheers,
