Vintage 1974 / autumn leaves, classic smell, taste is (a pity) too old

Banale, stano, senza emozioni.. Pessima annata e vino scarno.. Piacevole non trovare nessun segno di ossidazioni pur avendo ormai 40anni!'

Typical Latour profile. Worried about quality, but turned out amazing!

Too cold initially, with some air it actually develops nicely. Some leather and meatiness, dried fruit, cherry. A little more acid than expected.

Good colour and intensity. Fuller style than the same vintage Haute Brion.

Time has not treated this bottle well. A bit dusty and over the hill

Great to have had the chance to taste it. Came From a valued member of the GC team. Too bad it had to drunk quite some years ago. So no score.
