Latour - 1999 (750ml) boasberg It has round and ripe

It has round and ripe blackberry and cassis fruit flavors

It will be interesting to see if the 2008 fills out in bottle

and guests always go ga-ga over these rarities

revealing sweet tannins as well as extraordinarily decadent

opulent wine has layers of fruit

Latour - 1999 (750ml) boasberg It has round and ripeThe 1999 Latour doesn't quite dominate the competition the way the 1994 does, but it, too, is a lovely wine, exhibiting notes of blackcurrants, cigar wrapper, rich soil tones and creamy new oak. Medium to full bodied, deep and impressively concentrated, with velvety tannins, ripe acids and a long, expansive finish, it is showing beautifully today. Wine Advocate 94 points
