A Vancouver based wine collector for over 30 years, the seller was a partner at a local finance company that sold to a major bank in 2008. His wine mentor was a Canadian tasting champion and who influenced the collector into a love of Bordeaux wines. This wine is from his Vancouver cellar (temperature and humidity controlled) at his home on Spanish Banks.
The score for 2005 Chateau Latour Grand Vin Pauillac is 100 points from Vinous and the tasting note - The 2005 Latour was mind-blowingly profound in two recent tastings for this report. Deep and sensual to the core, the 2005 is utterly captivating. All the elements are so seamlessly put together. Graphite, crème de cassis, licorice, dark spice and lavender infuse the 2005 with so much energy. More than anything else, though, the 2005 is a Latour of texture and resonance. Even after several hours, the 2005 is fresh and full of energy. Wines like this are just life affirming. That's about all I can really say. Tasted two times.
