Louis Latour Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru 2003

A superb effort, and possibly one of the best wines that I have ever had from Louis Latour. Big on both the nose and the palate with complex waves of white flowers, almonds, chalk, cream, golden delicious apples and even figs. Hard to describe the texture, as it was at once silky smooth and rich with minerality. Some acidity to bind everything together. The finish was impossibly long. It just kept going, 45 seconds, 60 seconds, 75 seconds... Maybe not one to keep for the ages, but absolutely wonderful now.
