2008 Château Latour à Pomerol (France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol)
Excellent bottle of wine. Surprisingly approachable right out of the bottle. Wonderfully soft cherry and black currant fruit with a touch of plum. Earthy sandalwood in the background and some dark chocolate. Despite being soft, there's a subtle yet forceful structure behind the generous fruit that should ensure this having 15-20+ years ageing potential. A classic Moueix wine. Elegance and finesse. Finishes well, drinks fantastically with food (especially a nice steak, duck, goose, or lamb). Highly recommended.
