Château Latour--Vintage 1945
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Slightly raised corks, three slightly corroded capsules. Five bin-soiled labels, one damaged. U.S.A. import slip labels. Levels: one upper, five mid/upper-shoulder
Tasting note: A great wine. Surely one of the best ever Latours, drinking beautifully now but with many years more life. Thirty notes made over five decades. Always deep, with an opaque core; spicy bouquet, eucalyptus, cedar, smoky tea (Lapsang); full-bodied, rich, complete, silky tannins, complex, great lenghth. Most recently, sweet yet still very tannic. Very distinctive flavour. Living up to its reputation. June 2004 ***** M.B.
