Château Latour 1970 (10 BT)

Château Latour 1970

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

u. 3vts, 5ts, 2t/hs, bin-soiled and glue- striped labels, slightly corroded capsules

On New Year's Eve 2022 and from our own stock, an incredibly vivacious, cedary/leathery/mysterious bouquet - and amazingly fresh too. Then watch for that touch of woodsmoke. Velvet black liquorice on the palate, gummy and full of glycerol - only Latour on the Left Bank reached these heights in 1970. It took time................. but now we have this, in all its splendour, power and succulence. Dig deep into it and feel the sheer majesty of this wine. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
