CHATEAU LATOUR 1978 |

Château Latour 1978 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classéu. 1t/hs, 3hs, 2h/m, slightly scuffed and soiled label, 2 slightly sunken corksExcellent, 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 907 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
