Decanted for 2hrs prior to drinking. The pleasant nose of berries, jam and currant were apparent. Very smooth to the taste with reasonably long finish.

Double decanted. Very very dark. Much more delicate than the Margaux of the same vintage. So precise and focused. Intensely seductive. Supremely concentrated, like it's about to explode. Fascinating.

Medium-dark red color. Cassis, mineral, and smoke aromatics. Robust forward, supple flavor with only modest tannins. Moderate fruit concentration and finish. Corked was popped 4 hours before serving. For a 15 year old Latour, this is remarkably mature. Drinkable now, though will hold an additional 5 years easily.

Good drive and intensity of all the classic left bank flavours. Finish is shorter than expected. Very good effort for a weak vintage. Just passed the peak, drink now if you can.

Smooth but powerful upon opening, with some heat in the finish, still showing very significant tannins (no surprise). An hour after decanting it began to open up, however several hours later closed down and the tannins again dominated. Great wine (for an off vintage), but I would not open another for several years.
