An absolute stunner of a bottle from the legendary 1961 vintage. astounding nose of red fruits, roses, brilliantly balanced ethereal on the mouthfeel with a superb lingering finish! Will have to check the cellar if there are any more of this! The 1961 still has legs! — 17 hours ago

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

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

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
