Château Latour 1964, Pauillac 1er Cru Classé (5)
Château Latour 1964
Pauillac 1er Cru Classé
(4 base neck, 1 high to mid shoulder, all bin-soiled & stained labels)
5 bottles
"..served blind against the superior 1966 Latour. Yet it still has a gorgeous bouquet, elegant and refined with black fruit, cigar box, sandalwood and autumn leaves, pine cones emerging with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with perfect acidity, a heartwarming grainy texture and more sappiness than the 1966. It is a Latour that perhaps after 52 years is beginning to fade, but it would not surprise me if the occasional bottle transcended all expectations. I have left a "plus" sign against my score, acknowledging that there are bottles out there that can easily reach the 96-98 point range." (92+pts WA)
