The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Georges de Latour Private Reserve impresses for its silky tannins and exceptional overall finesse. Today the aromatics are a bit subdued, and the wine is quite shut down, but its textural elegance compensates to a large degree and suggests a very bright future. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2030. One of the most important wines of my formative years was a sublime bottle of the 1976 Georges de Latour. Today Michel Rolland consults on that wine, but frankly this is a very strong set of wines across the board, with a number of bottles that offer excellent value.Tel. (800) 373-5896
