CHATEAU LATOUR 1945 |

Château Latour 1945 Pauillac, 1er Cru ClasséLabels soiled, 1 partially torn and missing on the right edge, capsules worn, scuffed, slightly damaged and very slightly raisedThis is the result of a tiny yield of 12 hl/hectare. In 2018, a very generous friend treated us to this and it was astounding, utterly stupendous in every way. Talk about Latour impact! The deep colour led to an accompanying bouquet of blackcurrant, showing massive all-round health, cedarwood and Pauillac Cabernet. Amazing, monumental wine - on this evidence, is this vinous perfection? No volatility, soft power and mouth-coating fruit and class - it just swells on the palate and stays flawless until the decanter is finished. Class in the glass, persistence, dark chocolate and a certain voluptuous meatiness. One could never get enough of this wine and it stays imprinted on the sensual memory.
