Mature appearance: glowing red, warm ox-blood. Ripe, resinous, exotic aromas; wax; hay in a barn. Smooth, soft, rich and unsual Latour: buxom, open, generous. The fruit is charmingly sweet, confit; the tannins lush and ripe. The result is a wine which tastes 'hotter' and 'riper' than 2003. A picking decision?
