Tasted blind. I guesses a 2017 Napa Cab with mountain fruit (Continuum?). In a flight of 6 great wines, this was the one I was the most disappointed in after the label was revealed. It is an outstanding wine, but with Latour, one expects more. It is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, with some Cabernet Franc and Petite Verdot as well. Inky purple in color, opaque and bright. On the nose, cassis, some graphite, a bit of forest floor and spice. Full bodied. Firm tannins. On the palate, Cassis, slight cedar/woodiness and char. Long finish. I believe this to be at least partially shut down which makes sense at age 6. These should be held for ten more years minimum and then consumed for another twenty after that. I don't see this ever being thought of as a great Latour, but it should improve to a 96 score.
