Louis Latour, Romanee Saint Vivant Quatre Journaux other_regions_italy The 2007 Barbaresco Riserva StarderiThis is a very understated wine with elegant, pure and extremely pretty spicy red fruit aromas followed by supple yet precise and focused middle weight flavors highlighted by a sappy, intense and persistent finish. Modern day Latour reds can often be on the light side but this offers solid concentration and more overall depth than usual. In short, this is lovely stuff. 92 2014+
