Chateau Latour 1981 - Pauillac, France

Followers should note this bottle was in impeccable condition. Since release stored in a temperature controlled cellar not being moved once from slumber.

Colour starting to fade away to a red brick with maroon flashes. The nose leads with new leather and interesting spice which gives way to a core of coffee bean and wild berry. The palate is just drying a touch but a great frame and certainly a wonderful wine remains. Impeccable length and complexity on the palate and the wine is drinking now with more power visible 5 years earlier.
