first bottle from a case bought en primeur. 2 hour decant. very soft and round. plenty of fruit as you'd expect from an '09. maybe a bit of upside potential with some cellar time for some secondary flavours to develop but it's very drinkable right now. will revisit in 2019.

1996 Château Latour Grand Vin

Classic Pauillac. Powerful and firm. At 22 years old this is still in it's youth. I'm going to wait another 5 years minimum before opening another.
