Description

Château Latour 1978

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

Good levels, labels soiled and slightly damp affected; Bons niveaux, étiquettes sales et légèrement tâchées par l'humidité


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
