Château Latour 1945
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden case. In original straws. Corroded capsules. Ten labels excellent for age, two stained labels. Levels: two top-shoulder, four upper-shoulder, six mid-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 opaque core; spicy bouquet, eucalyptus, cedar, smoky tea (Lapsang); full-bodied, rich, complete, silky tannins, complex, great length. Most recently, sweet yet still very tannic. Very distinctive flavour. Living up to its reputation. Last tasted June 2004 ***** MB
