Description

Château Latour 1978

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

u.1vts, 1t/hs, labels bin-soiled and scuffed, 1 nicked capsule, 1 sunken cork; wines come from different importers

Excellent, thick colour. Nose of raisins and pepper, turning to pure dark black truffles and the smell of them when they are "sous la cendre". Thick, almost "salty" coffee, dense taste. An extraordinary wine of real intensity and total concentrated dimension. A very "Medocain" giant with very complex tannins. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
