| Tasting Notes: | Georges de Latour is California's original Reserve wine- a classic in every sense. The 2003 vintage is nearly opaque black-ruby color with purple highlights. The aromas show strength of black fruits, licorice, black pepper and minerals, with Rutherford accents of black olive, peppercorn and dark cherry. Full-bodied in texture, this wine has pronounced, dense flavors of black currant, anise, sweet vanilla and distinctive minerality. The rich tannins are balanced by medium acidity providing freshness. Deeply full of character, this vintage will require 7 to 9 years aging to reach maturity, yet tastes fine now. Enjoy this excellent wine with roasted meats and complex cheeses such as Montgomery Cheddar. |
| Ratings: | 91 Points - Wine & Spirits . . .more massive than traditional Georges de Latour, but it still retains the trademark elegance of this Rutherford wine. The dark, chocolate-cherry flavors are held firm by tannin, with a graphite minerality that keeps it structured for ten years of age. |
