Bordeaux Blend

Always great to try a mature Latour from a great vintage!  Purple in color, opaque and bright.  The nose is deep, young, and complex with cassis, plums, graphite, and blueberries.  Full bodied.  Medium to firm tannins.  Great energy.  On the palate, this is delicious.  Young with cassis, blueberries, slight plums and earthy funk.  Long finish.  This will benefit from cellaring but is great now.  At age 29, it still has twenty to thirty years left.  While a Roast would be classic, it would also be great with a roasted Butternut Squash.
