  This is a clear candidate for 101 Pts, as well as wine of the vintage! Mind-blowing in every sense of the word, from start to finish, this wine is breath-taking! Multi-layered, and multi-faceted, the wine coats your palate, mouth, teeth, and gums with non-stop layers of opulent fruits that are elegant, regal, sophisticated, and seamless. You also find vibrancy as well as astonishing purity. The 60-second mark is left in the dust in the seamless, seemingly, endless finish. If you have the money and want one of the great wine-tasting experiences of your life, this is for you! Drink from 2024-2060.

  A lovely wine perhaps just out-shown by the 1999 Leroy Latricieres Chambertin we had prior to it.
  This wine is perfectly balanced, still very young in my opinion, one for the ages really. Acidity is biting, fruit dense but definitely not over bearing, limited signs of aging as of yet. Greatest impression was the everlasting finish. I don’t remember it ever going away…
  To go out to open even in the decanter, and I’m not sure it ever fully opened. You can certainly drink now but I would be more interested in circling back in a few more years.

  The stand out wine from the Farr’s 2009 Bordeaux dinner. Not immediately obvious, but the wine I kept going back to time and time again over the course of the evening. Classic nose, with a lovely touch of charred oak. Everything in balance and proportion, but an underlying power and energy signalling brilliance to come. Seemingly impervious to the vintage conditions, this is Latour above everything else. A classic. Almost perfect, but needs at least another 10 to get there.

  Salon Focofi Paris walkabout and dinner, so no detailed tasting notes. From DMG. Super young still. Dense, good fruit core. Best after 2029.

  Opaque core with brick red rim. The bouquet is predominantly primary and secondary with blackcurrant,blueberries,cherries,plum,olives,dark chocolate,coffee grounds,charcoal,frankincense,camphor and tobacco. There are hints of age with mushroom and iodine aromas. The palate is full bodied with thick thin viscosity. There are satisfying firm tannins. Although you sense low levels of acid the total experience is balanced unlike the 1995 and 2003 vintage. The wine is true to the character of Latour with a confident, masculine and introspective nature. It is vital to drink the wine between 45 mins and 1.5 hours after decanting. You will miss the best if you leave it too late. Riedel Bordeaux Sommelier Grand Cru glasses. Drinking temp 18 degs C. Tetsuyas in Sydney. Drinking window 2022-2060. NS
