Dinner at Perilla (Chicago, IL): Wow. For a poor Bordeaux vintage, this is really next-level stuff. Unmistakable Pauillac pencil shaving notes on the nose. The palate is a bit soft, and doesn't have the weight and gravitas of a top-vintage Latour, but there's no mistaking the quality behind the winemaking here. I love the delicacy and red-fruited acidity here.
This is ripe and concetrated on the nose. Hedonistic almost, impressive for the vintage. Cassis, black fruit, tobacco, vanilla, dried cherry, dried cranberry, and damp soil. Medium body, med+ tannin, med acid. This is a wine of finesse and structure. Probably the best 93 I’ve had. Hard to say if it will get better but it still has plenty of time. Try again in 2-3 years.

blind a perfect stored bottle. I was right with left bank but I was suprised as I saw the vintage. Had not much great 1993's but I think due to my lack of expirience with this vintage. Everything what you expect from a very good aged Bx. At his peak. 96

The wine of the night? Probably. This was my second time with the 1993 Latour and this time this wine showed a lot moer fruit. Quite light, harmoneus and with very nice fruit. A great wine from a so-so vintage. Pnp. Perfectly stored since release 94-95 pts. Drink now.
