Château Latour
Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend
Guessed 89 left bank. Incredibly alive. Classic claret with acid, tannin still there, primary fruit . Wow.

Mar 7th, 2017Really fun this one, brought in by a guest, wasn't expecting much, didn't decant, but it showed itself really well, dried dark berry fruit, quite indicative of Latour, really shows how amazing that terroir is, as the '82 is still the best of the 1st growths.
