1982 Château Latour PnP, decanted into a narrow opening decanter Nose of graphite and cassis, with hints of vanilla, tobacco and truffles Medium-bodied, with a core of cassis and mocha Extremely smooth tannins Long, long, long finish. Super decadent, almost silky finish
2006 Château Haut-Brion Decanted for 1 hour Nose of cassis and spices, with hints of forest floor and leather Tertiary notes barely started showing Medium-bodied, with a core of tobacco and oak Grippy tannins Long, pleasant finish. Tastes slightly watered-down when compared to the Latour
Didn’t drink the Carillon.

Either you live in a rather warm & humid place, or those bottles are stored at too cold a temp. They look frigid.

Sounds like an excuse, but cool wines.
