slender by the mineral presence of its terroir

Give it a good five years in bottle

though I discern a little more focus and precision here

Third vintage since they stepped back from the classification

Good length here

chiseled tannins

Drink from 2031-2038

A benchmark Latour that reminds me of the 1982 in many ways

where it should stay for 10-15 years

taut and layered palate that's seamless and complete

Even a hint of acacia honey

Raspberry and black cherry
