Château Latour is an iconic estate in the Pauillac commune on the left bank of Bordeaux, achieving coveted ‘First Growth’ status in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification.

The estate has roots dating back to the 14th century and derives its name ‘La Tour’ from a fortress tower built during the Hundred Years’ War, which no longer exists but is prominently featured on the label in recognition of its history.

We weren’t sure what to expect, as many have predicted these 1983s are likely past their prime, but this wine was a masterpiece. 🤩

It was medium garnet in color with expressive notes of cedar box, cigar, clove, peat, leather, forest floor, fig, prune, dried black cherry, plum, cassis, blackberry compote, cardamom, cinnamon, star anise, dried violet, potpourri, kalamata olive, pencil shavings, graphite, & bacon fat.

It had the most velvety, fine-grained tannins that washed across the palate with ease, with a gentle but notable acidity that maintained lift and balance. It was concentrated, complex, and had a long, elegant finish. — 21 days ago

🔥🔥🔥🔥, paired with roasted salmon filet and it was awesome. The acidity & minerality were a perfect compliment to the fish — 4 years ago

W. V. Bubbles from a famed vineyard and phenomenal human, Tom Sivili. Rising star no doubt. Get your hands on this before it goes the way of Ultramarine. And if you have more of the 2019 DM me now. — a year ago

Phipps NBC Red Star is a traditional recipe that dates back to the 1950s. A favourite of the Cobbler industry that had its heart in Northampton and Northamptonshire, it was drunk county wide after a day making shoes.
A good mile, malty ale, with a nice refreshing taste that gives a little nuttyness and hints of caramel. 3.8ABV, ideal for a session ale. — 2 years ago

Oooh, I love this. It pours beautifully black and thickly with a dense head. Aromas of coffee and chocolate and a smooth taste of caramel, coffee, chocolate and hints of biscuit and hazelnut.

A super ale. One for cold winter days and autumn evenings, as much as a tranquil summer afternoon or like today, a bright spring day.

Northern Monk has brewed a little can of pleasure. — 3 years ago

Riesling + chambo + traminette = wow! Such a great integration of traminette, offering up its explosion of flowers on the nose without the bathroom-potpourri taste. Instead the chambo and riesling smack you with a big ol’ ripe red sour cherry. So so fun, and interesting. — a year ago

Citrus and pineapple nose. Big spicy fruit on the palate - white peach, quince, star fruit, asian pear, lemon, and kiwi fruit. Medium alcohol, high acid, and medium finish. A jazzy sipper. — 3 years ago
