Georges De Latour Private Reserve 1973
Intense nose upon opening, instantly recognizable Napa Cab aroma.
Color when held to the light is cloudy brick. Body and color tone is medium.
Still fresh and noticeable acidity, extraordinary balance and smoothness. Smells of cedar and tobacco, old leather. Some noticeable sweetness, like dates.
Opened for Sunny’s birthday. What a treat. Happy Year of the Ox from Shanghai. — 4 years ago

Very balanced, drinking beautifully right now. Ripe plum, black cherry, blueberry, a hint of tobacco. This 2010 vintage deserves its praise. Back in the US after 11 years in China, liberating the wines that have been waiting for me. — 4 years ago
