1996 Latour

[Stealthman]

Not quite sure if it's time to drink up yet, but that sucker has a new home [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img] Didn't have the heart to leave behind a '96 Haut Brion that was dirt cheap (well relatively speaking!) as well, that lil bugger was 2/3's gone by the time the filet came off the barbeque tonight. Still closed, but still, well you know...Haut Brion.
As a side note a couple weeks ago we picked up some '97 Rubicon at Costco for less than $80. My first Rubicon and I was very surprised. I guess I always thought this was a wine that was tough as nails for the first 5 to 8 years, but this was a delicate, delicious fruit bomb. Not entirely my style as I prefer the smokey, oakey, tobaccoey, leatherey, dry as a bone stuff, but still a wonderful, wonderful wine.
