First Growth Bordeaux: LATOUR

[@fkcoolers2669]

Said a small prayer to the wine gods at the start of this vid that none of the bottles would have cork taint or issues.

[@Ivan-Hernandez]

You're the real MVP!

[@OurPourDecisions]

We appreciate that! LOL

[@John-sg9fz]

Assume you not buy from Acker anymore after those expensive faulty wines

[@OurPourDecisions]

Any auction wine you risk issues. Not an Acker issue, it's a secondary market issue.

[@spamham1976]

Father so appreciative of the daughter starting to appreciate red wine. Daughter drinks beer. 😂

[@OurPourDecisions]

So classic - lol! - Pops

[@freshjakob33]

Thank you for running this channel. Love your content. I have been holidaying in the region for years always looking at the great Châteaus in the hope of tasting them one day. Keep up the good work. Best regards from Berlin!!

[@OurPourDecisions]

Thank you for watching. Let us know if you see something we should be looking into for our channel.

It seems to me that Bordeaux has changed the last twenty years. Not just climate change but also improvements in the way the vineyards are handled and in the winery. It was as if Bordeaux was the old champion and woke up one day to realize the new kids were working very hard and successfully challenging their dominance. In the old days, I read descriptions of the five First Growths and had it in mind that Latour would be my favorite. When I tasted the wines, I found that Chateau Margaux was my favorite. Must have been that "Margaux perfume". I also found that I would move Mouton to Second Growth status. Oh well. I have not tasted a First Growth the last twenty years so I would like to thank you for doing that.

My grandfather still has a bottle of ‘82, planning on drinking it in the next few years. With how you described the ‘90 in this video, it’s given me high expectations!

[@OurPourDecisions]

How fun! '82 should be spectacular.

[@ptg01]

Latour: A big boy wine !!! Spectacular !!!

[@umfalcon1001]

Love this channel's content.

[@alvarogil8954]

These videos are overly underrated and underappreciated!!! Amazing content

[@Liquidclouds]

Im not a rich guy but Im happy to have one 2008 Latour in my small collection. soo looking forward to opening it :D

[@davidkarin3443]

@@Liquidclouds I’m the same. I have 2014 Latour and 2016 Mouton. I can’t wait to drink them some day

[@OurPourDecisions]

It'll be a lot of fun! I would suggest not opening it until it reaches at least 20 years of age, maybe more.

[@holyfox94]

Two bottles of the 90 in my cellar, so this video was very helpful. Thank you. Oh, and I still feel for you for the Romanée Conti debacle. Had a 2000 La Tâche recently and it was worth all the hype. Burgundy in perfection!

[@robertstuart6004]

Loving all these videos. Made my day that a new video came out.

[@OurPourDecisions]

Your comment made our day!

[@davidkarin3443]

Latour is so epic. It was the first 1st growth purchase. There is something mysterious about Latour, they don’t use social media and the website doesn’t have much. I have yet to taste it yet but I will one day! Great video

[@OurPourDecisions]

It'll be fun to try for sure! What vintage did you purchase?

[@davidkarin3443]

@@OurPourDecisions I went with the 2014, more on the classical side of the vintage and a lot said it was the wine of the vintage.

[@guitar911rock]

we had traveled to paris this summer and felt Le Cinq = dinner pricing was out of touch high compared with other michelin star restaurants around the world that we had been to, so we went to Four seasons courtyard lunch, had an incredible Burgundy for lunch. Spectacular hotel.

[@OurPourDecisions]

The hotel and the courtyard are both spectacular. Sounds like you had an amazing visit. Agreed - the prices at the three-star restaurants in Paris are astronomical.

[@carlcadregari7768]

Another wonderful video. Goes to show why I get asked Bordeaux or Burgundy so much……. Cheers.

[@markntexas8265]

Enjoying your channel even rewatching some videos and its nice seeing how your comfort on the camera as a team has alright changed.

[@S7777]

I love your videos! Thank you! Next time „all first growths bordeaux“ tasting? 🙂🍷 another idea: „supertuscans“ with sassicaia, ornellaia and tignanello

[@olli-pekkaskytta2733]

I really hope to try that one day!

[@sworksdesign]

Excellent video as always! Would love to see a vintage match up on d'Yquem on the horizon :D

[@OurPourDecisions]

Legendary d'Yquem - that would be a lot of fun to do for sure!

[@RJHHamersma]

The video's are getting more and more professional 💪👏 !! Love the story, really liked the tasting again !! Thanks for sharing this with us again !! Amazing wines 😍♥️🔥

[@FridayFishFacts]

I watch a lot of wine channels. Yours is quickly becoming one of my favourites. I’ve watched all your videos

[@OurPourDecisions]

Wow, thank you!

[@christopherwarren4719]

An other impeccable tasting session of iconic wines, great job guys.

[@gabrielmoratto9702]

Do a Vertical of Alma Viva!!!

[@OurPourDecisions]

Great suggestion. We need to do some wines from Chile (and Argentina) on our channel soon.

[@DianneRoe-gh3ly]

I love how B gives a “real” person perspective… I can relate to her!

[@icemancrypto]

Great video , you’re one of my favorite KZbinrs😊 I’m already waiting for your next one (a Super Tuscan or Vega Sicilia would be great)!

[@Ask_lu]

I love Le Cinq! I went with the pairing… In the hindsight, I should’ve done their bottle list.

[@OurPourDecisions]

It was an unforgettable dinner. Domaine Leflaive "Les Pucelles" to start with and Latour later on with meat dishes. Both bottles were pristine.

[@coryz6880]

Great video!🍷

[@KlausValk]

Cool! Latour is such an interesting and significant wine and cool to see you opening it! I have only had one experience of the Latour so far, I enjoyed together a bottle of the 1992 vintage, which was a rainy and poor vintage. Despite this the wine was just so lively and stunning! Cheers!

[@OurPourDecisions]

Cheers!

[@kentpiano2600]

Serious sonority guys! Yeah magical 🪄 absolutely loved this tasting and cheers!! 🍷🍷♥️♥️

[@John-sg9fz]

Awesome video. My dream is to drink a 1946 Cheval Blanc with the two of you while Stacey cooks the three of us steaks

[@OurPourDecisions]

You bring the wine, I'll cook the steaks! :-) - Pops

[@acousticv-sg4ns]

might need to see B do a beer tasting 😂

[@OurPourDecisions]

LOL

[@hottuna2006]

I'm surprised Haut-Brion outperformed Latour. I'm even more surprised that Stacey pronounced it Ought-Brion.

[@Ivan-Hernandez]

Finally!

[@robertfenti3996]

Great tasting

[@denniskarendominguez2412]

Love your video's! One question that I have is what stemware do you use?

[@OurPourDecisions]

From Williams-Sonoma

[@rjo8500]

Quite impressive the Les Forts was built to last. While watching this I’m drinking a ‘15 Chateau La Dame de Montrose (Montrose’s 2nd) and it’s very approachable.

[@MF-dc8bi]

Really enjoying your videos! A tasting of the "super second" Bordeauxs (Pichon, Leoville, Cos etc, you know what I'm talking about) would be really interesting to see how they compare against the Firsts! For my money I'd certainly choose one of those over something like the Forts des Latour. Cheers!

[@OurPourDecisions]

That's our take from the tasting as well.

[@prccap]

No third wine to add?!? I love the value of the Pauillac

[@OurPourDecisions]

Would have loved to try it. Don't own any.

[@prccap]

@@OurPourDecisions I was never really impressed with the Les forts at the price they want. Too many better wines at that price point

[@Rainy_Day12234]

I’m a little jealous.

[@kennethlarsen-p5u]

Hei where did you buy the strain equipment while pour over the wine in the decanting

[@miguelcarrillo202]

keep it up love you guys

[@oscarayala3]

Please do the 1989 Haut Brion!

[@OurPourDecisions]

If I get my hands on a bottle........:-)

[@John-sg9fz]

This is a really great channel. I hope you guys can get a bit more adventurous… Musar, Soldera, Emidio Pepe, Valentini, Comando G, Vina Tondonia BLANCO….

[@OurPourDecisions]

We've just started - can't wait!

[@nassy030]

Next wine expert please. Views will 🚀

[@ryankeith5139]

Great video! As always. Of note, I keep seeing those bottles of Turly and Maya in the background. Would love to see a Turley video. Maybe comparing the bottlings of Turley Old Vines and Turley Juvenile side by side and talking about Old Vine Vineyards and Younger vine vineyards. Also would be fun to see a Maya tasting, maybe comparing to a Bordeaux bottling of CS/CF

[@OurPourDecisions]

Great suggestion! My wife and I opened that particular bottle of '02 Maya last night. It was absolutely stunning. I have one bottle left - will do a video on Dalla Valle and Maya sometime.

[@ryankeith5139]

@@OurPourDecisions My mouth is watering thinking of that 02 vintage :)

[@danielgutierrez1499]

You guys should try the upcommig release of Les Carmes Haut-Brion, 2022 (one of the best Bordeaux vintages in history). Les Carmes Haut-Brion that year is better than Haut-Brion itself, according to parker, Suckling, and other critics. It's poised to become a 100-pointer upon release.

[@davidkarin3443]

@@danielgutierrez1499 I got a couple bottles en primeur. I can’t wait for delivery

[@TheDesertWineGuy]

Who is Stacey? By the way, does she know you posted that pic :) How do we know a wine is in a "dumb phase" as opposed to a wine just not being a good one?

[@MundoVinho]

👏👏👏

[@richardcollins586]

Could you do a tasting for a Saint-Estephe, say..Cos-D’Estournel? Thanks.

[@OurPourDecisions]

Love your suggestion. Cos is one of my go-to Bordeaux wines. I'm certain we'll cover it at some point in the future.
