Chateau Latour 1975 - Pauillac, France

Followers should note this bottle was in impeccable condition. Since release stored in a temperature controlled cellar not being moved once from slumber.

Colour remains dark with slightly faded edges. The nose is absolutely faultless, Cabernet at the highest level of purity. Dark forest fruits wind into leather, cured meat and burnt coffee. Perfect drinking age has been reached making this 1975 a rare treat of balance, length and a super fine finish.

This wine along with the 1981 tasted on the same evening, concreted my opinion that the consistency of Chateau Latour in the First Growth line up is unmatched.

98 Points
