CHATEAU LATOUR 1970 |

Château Latour 1970 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classéu. 2bn, 3vts, 1ts, wines come from 2 different importers, 3 wine stained labels, bin soiled and glue striped labels, 2 slightly torn capsulesIn 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.
