Spring continued wet with some rain during flowering, followed by cool temperatures that allowed the grapes to mature gradually. Most ripened at lower sugars, thanks to the extended, cool growing season, providing full flavors, fresh acidity, and superb balance. Tasting notes This vintage is truly exemplary, with a nuanced, exuberant nose. Full-bodied with tremendous concentration and power, the broad palate is multilayered with enticing flavors of dark black cherry, red currant, cocoa nib, amaretto, espresso, and graphite. Signature “Rutherford Dust” tannins add a fine cocoa-powder texture, with a long lift and persistent finish. The mouthwatering palate is supple and fresh, with balanced acidity, demonstrating classically elegant, luscious, and alluring character. Incredibly drinkable upon release in its youth and highly cellarable for many years to come. 100pts by James Suckling "Wow! This is the new 1974 George de Latour, which was a legend"
