1907 are you kidding me!
That was pretty cool. I also think Latour is currently the best of the first growths
Awesome….you shoould have asked to try the 1961.
That has to be tough to tasting their wines right in from of them standing around watching you. I am excited about the 2008’s!!
Agreed, I am holding off on 06 and 07 and then buying a lot of 08 and 09.
That would be too much fun. Can you buy any of the old bottles?
You can’t buy the old one’s, they are for “really” special events.
That is what I am hearing, still are actually still some values with the 05’s. I am excited to try 08’s. Thanks Chris.
Have 3 bottles of the 2005 Les Forts Latour in the cellar. Really didn’t expand to much on that. That wine has got to be a baby, no? Is there a part 2 of this video, it ended rather abruptly?
They were not overly excited about me filming. In all the tastings I remained low key and just wanted to give people and idea of the setting. Depending on the atmosphere I filmed longer. The 2005 was really nice, the question is if it is worth the price. What did you pay for it? It is tight but I have to say that I enjoyed it. Huge tannins but extremely well integrated. I enjoyed the 2008’s as well. They are clearly focusing a lot more on making wines that are “approachable” today but will last for 20 years.
Paid about $100.00 En Primeur, but I’m a consumer not an investor so this will look like a bargin in 10 to 15 years. “Approachable today,” that almost seems like a sales job by the French. Tannins required to make a wine that last 20 years would not be enjoyable today. Not for my palate anyway. I’m missing something here. That kind of scares me from buying for the cellar. Everything is a balancing act, can you have everything, perfect drinking wine now and in 20 years, man I don’t know about that.
Scotty, I have to respectfully disagree. The wine that really come to my mind that drink beautifully today and will last 20 years is Pahlmeyer from Napa. In my opinion as long as the tannins come in at the right time and don’t overtake the mid-palate then you can drink the wine today. You are going to be amazed at how fruit forward and approachable the 2008’s are.
Not really laying down a case, just confused. Seems like the delicate nature of most Bordeaux require alot of tannin protection over time. It’s just chemistry, just don’t know how you mess with that. Interesting. Seems like a magic trick to me if your going to maintain the “traditional style.” Maybe they’re gravitating to a more American style, just not saying it. Agree about Napa, but huge amount of fruit, everything for that matter. If they are changing, the pre 2006 vintages will be worth even more to me. Maybe, it will be like selecting Brunellos now, if you’re old school, you really have to watch what you buy.
Wow! Thanks for this one Chris!
Looks like it was a great trip, looking forward to next episode.
dude, i can’t believe you got to film there. that is so cool.
