Château Latour 1978 (12 BT)

Château Latour 1978

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

u.5bn, 3vts, 2vts/ts, 1hs, 1ms, labels slightly scuffed and slightly soiled, 1 nicked, 4 damp-soiled, capsules slightly scuffed and soiled, 9 slightly sunken corks, 1 minor sign of old seepage

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

WA 90

酒色濃麗。起初帶葡萄乾和胡椒香氣，後轉為純黑松露味。酒味渾厚濃郁，有近「咸」咖啡香。此酒豐郁醇厚，無可比擬。非常典型的梅鐸區佳釀，丹寧極為複雜。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師 M.W.）
