The bottle wasn't "off" in terms of corked or madeirized. It was opened, but not decanted, 2 hours before consumption. It just could be in a dumb phase, but compared to other older Latours, it just didn't have the stuffing. The finish was long, but not your typical Pauillac
cedar/lead nose. I suspect it will be a much better wine when you're ready to open it, but it will never be the '82 or other blockbuster vintages. Just my .02.

I'll be interested to hear about this one. Had it at Xmas and it was very good, though a little too sour on the finish. I have a case of the 05 Grand Clos coming to me shortly.

The finish is definitely a little tart on all the Clos Jordanne's I've tried so far, but not to the point that its a turnoff. I have a few 2005's too, was thinking of doing a vertical tasting of both 2004 and 2005
