Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend

The end all be all of Bordeaux estates in my opinion. This is spectacular. My favorite wine of the entire trip. Decanted 2 hours before our arrival to the chateau. There is just so much power and beauty in the wine. Elegant was not something I was expecting from this estate but this was ethereal. The aromas were haunting of strawberry jolly ranchers and a sea of rose petals. Suave but firm tannins on the end let you know that this wine was birthed from gravelly soils along the Gironde. I absolutely fell in love with this estate when I was blessed enough to visit.

Flawless wine and flawless reception #latour

What a gorgeous wine! You could love this on its bouquet alone.

Benefitted from a quick decant to get the bottle to soften up a bit. I’ve only had a couple of Latours before, but every time the word “balance “ is the first thing that comes to mind. Fruit, tannin, acidity, structure... all there. It goes down almost too easily.

Flawless leather tobacco and silk

From Magnum at dinner at Chateau Latour...served blind, sublime. This is a true winning vintage of Latour, especially from Magnum. 94pts

Third red of the night, and now we are getting to the good stuff... Clear cut better than the first two bottle (which are very nice wines) just more of everything: flavor, structure, length, you name it it's got it... Would love to try again in 10 years.

Drinking loving bragging tagging.

Dark and complex. Opens up nicely
