Decanted for about 3hrs. 15yrs of age and this show no sign of it, this reassured me how long live Latour is. Expected this is young but already show such class, finesse and harmony. The aromas is seductive, complex and astonishingly pure with layered of blackcurrant and intense floral in the core that surrounded by tobacco, pencil shaving, cedar, leather. This full bodied Latour has so much to offer: delineated, immense mouth feel and freshness, impeccable balance with layer and layer of fruits, cedar, leather with inner perfume that boosted with finesse and class.Structured, massive tannin here, but it is so fine and well buffered by the concentration of fruits and dry extract that you never feel the heaviness and in fact, this wine is approachable though by no mean it showed its full potential. Very very long, intense finish with mineral and floral aftertaste that just wouldn't quit. Bravo! This will easily develop in the bottle for the next 15yrs. (the wine went to sleep again at the end of the dinner) 95-97
