(2004) A subtle meaty nose. Mushrooms. Palate is relatively acidic for Latour and quite forward - more than the 93. A dense savoury finish with notes of dark chocolate. Well balanced with fine complexity. Will drink sooner than the 1993. Tasted at the château.

(2004) Big, coffee-ground and espresso-bean, high-toast French oak nose. Rather fierce tannins and a muscular, mouth-coating texture in this powerful wine.
