Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2007

2007 vintage. From magnum and tasted 1.5 hours after being decanted. Herbal (but not mint) and woodsy nose. Medium body. Tons of thrusters at full power initially but the dark cherry, plum and baking chocolate notes were the only remaining flavors after the leap to hyperspace. That expected and (in)famous Latour power definitely in the picture but without any other stars in the cast to make this worthy of Oscar consideration. Not a top notch vintage, yet it seems like this effort is on a giant plateau and could remain there for a decade-easy. Likely would have benefited from an additional hour or two of air time but not enough to move the needle significantly…maybe to 9.3. — 2 years ago

Lavaut St. Jacques Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2012

Pop and pour. On the nose: pine needle, cola, dusty blackberry, mulberry leaf. On the palate: excellent acidity, damp earth, bark, mulberry. Lacking some concentration/density on the mid, but a nice juicy finish with very soft tannin. — 2 years ago
