So complete. Second time I’ve had this bottle with consistent results. Still at the height of its powers before its 50th birthday. A perfect wine.

Likely one of the best bottles of wine to date. Lots of fruit and body. Great nose. Couldn’t have been better.

NYC for my 35th and this was firing on all cylinders. Extremely dark in color, massive nose and the palate showed everything good about classic Latour. This liked and tasted like an 80's wine, so youthful and surprisingly no sediment in the bottle. Easily a top 5 wine this year.
