From a half bottle.

These age faster, which ends up being a good thing with wines like this.

Cork broke in half, even with a Durand, and the bottom half fell into the wine. Probably didn't impact it much though. Used a filter to avoid sediment and cork pieces.

This was a bit tight on first sip, but figured some air in the glass would be good, so no decanting, just airing in the bottle.

Picked up dried plum, blueberry, coffee, chocolate notes.

1991 was a tough vintage in Bordeaux, but I think Latour made a good wine in spite of it.

Still has nice acidity and tannins on the palate.

Paired well with paneer Kathi rolls.

92 points.

    There was probably a decent chunk of 1990 in there too.
