CHATEAU LATOUR 1975 |

Château Latour 1975 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classéu. vts, cellar soiled bottle, bin-soiled and scuffed label, slightly scuffed and corroded capsule, otherwise excellent color and clarityIn 2017 and from double magnum. Served in big Burgundy ballons which was rather a good idea. Huge fruit from the start, now more cherry than blackcurrant and with great impact. Real First Growth depth, inimitable. History in the glass - a wine of its epoch and an utterly memorable one too. Multi-layered and complex, with very exciting flavours acting as an undercurrent and finishing on a sweet aniseed note.
