The best of the best. Had a Latour 82 the night before and my palate leans toward the Lafitte. Mature and ready now (would like to hear how it could evolve from here). Novice collector.

Excellent bottle. Still youthful. Fruit opens up well. No need for long decant.

Initial nose was a bit off putting. I allowed the wine to open up in a decanter for about an hour. The wine just needed to breath. Excellent bottle. Drinking well now. This particular bottle did not have the complexity in the tertiary notes compared to Lafitte of the same year. I realize this observation could be attributed to bottle variability and I also do not have other experiences with this particular vintage.
