2001 Louis Latour Corton-Charlemagne ***

The picture doesn't do it justice (poor lighting in the club) but this was a spectacular bottle of wine. Light grapefruit color. Utterly closed on the nose: the predominant note here was warm road tar, with secondary notes of anise and celery seed and a hint at frozen fresh orange juice. Wonderfully pure fruit. Exceptionally light bodied, with oyster texture. Went down like water.
