A 2012 Latour with a 90 minute decant showed what a first growth could be post its first growth stage. With the usual Latour signature it was very drinkable considering its relative youth. One more bottle in the cellar — a month ago

9.0

1975 was one of the worst Burgundy vintages. This La Tache, light, aromatically brilliant, balanced with a weak mid palate and a non existent finish was still a good lunch wine. Slow oxed for 30 minutes prior to drinking — 7 months ago

An intriguing wine! Very rich, good spine of acidity with floral notes. Well balanced! Went very well with the tempura dinner and ranked WOTN by the Japanese guests! Insane pricing though — a month ago

One hour decant with steak dinner. Had it with the 89 Haut Brion. Whilst this was good it was soundly beaten by the HB — 19 days ago
