The first vintage release from Harlan estate. Now I can say I have been lucky to try every vintage of this wine. Long finish, with a lot less of a ripe attack than anticipated. Long life ahead of this wine made in a different era in napa. #timetraveling — 10 years ago

2005 vintage. On the nose, quite developed. Nutty, brioche, dried apricot and quince. Some earthy notes. On the palate, again developed and very approachable. Broad - slightly lacking in acidity for me. Good body and concentration. Some nice complexity of flavours. Decent length. Surprisingly good for an '05. I think I prefer this to the '04, although I suspect that this wine won't have as long a life span. Bravo monsieur chef de cave! — 10 years ago
OMG--this old
#Latour is so massive that you could eat it with a fork!
One of the greatest vintages of the 20th century, and, even now, this wine has years of life ahead of it!
And to think that I used to work in a wine shop that had cases piled up ten high priced at $50 per bottle! #1959 — 11 years ago

2000 vintage. Still has some tannin gripping on for dear life. Cranberry and pomegranate and fig and potting soil. Some chocolate as well. A little rocky on the palate but one that isn't showing 16 years in any bad form. — 10 years ago
Cocoa powder. Silky and supple. Lots of life in the fruit. — 11 years ago

Can't say enough about a wine this serious at this price point. Absolutely stunning, elegant, and even (in a chinon way) powerful. Floral aromatic dominate - lavender and a bit of rose. Graphite, dusty chalk, red pepper, some raspberry. Fresh yet not primary. Hints of savory notes as well. Incredible spine of minerality runs through the palate. Great acidity and structure. Coiler and energetic. Finishes long and bright with refreshing pyrazines for days. In an incredible place now, so no fault in drinking but has a long, long life ahead. One of the best values in the wine world. Just exceptional — 9 years ago
