1964 Château Latour:

Very top shoulder fill, excellent cork. Bright deepish ruby, very thin brick rim. Starting out earthy. After thirty minutes whiff of prunes and figs, cassis, pencil shaves, cedar, scented and superb nose. layered and complex. Absolutely gorgeous. Not decanted. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, and the tannins are perfectly integrated in the texture, soon polished off. Layered and mouthwatering, Aged and still youthfull, gorgeous length. Best bottle I've had of 64 Latour. Minutes of length. Superb with classic grouse. Starting to dry far out in the finish after two hours if you had to much in the glass. With smaller pours, it held up superbly in the bottle. Drink soon. 96-97

Very top shoulder fill. Bright ruby, garnet rim. Opened up superbly with three hours of decanting. Intensely scented, more scented and cedar, plums, cassis and a very slight touch og prunes.

1986 Château Léoville Barton:

Deep ruby. Finally a bottle that is starting to open. Well, open is not the right word. Its still tighter than most. Scented, violets, cassis, some leather and fine tea. Fresh acidity, tight, ripe tannins, When will it open? Nothing happens with air, just like former bottles, in different formats. Give it another ten to twenty years. Long. 94
