Château Latour 1970 (8 BT)

Château Latour 1970 

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

u. 5ts, 1t/hs, 2hs, 4 damp-stained labels, 2 different importers

In 2019, I have never had a better bottle (from our own stock, bought in the 1970s, with perfect storage). Great colour and a true Pauillac First Growth cassis nose, with an affinity to Mouton here. Aromatic Cabernet at its height and headily scented with sublime terroir. A fabulous sensation on the palate, with power, succulence, fruit and...obvious future longevity. An incredible cocoa powder finish - intoxicating really. A sleeping giant - perhaps only dozing. In 2020, it is just so soft and velvety, totally mouth-filling. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
