Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend

A rocking bottle of Latour

Slightly flawed in some way was the consensus though there was no consensus as to why. A root day?

Defective

1979 Chateau Latour, one of the most understated wines out there! Was delicious and juicy

1979...ouf quel grand grand vin!

1979 really fruity and smooth. Tastes like a fruit smoothie almost

This was a great surprise at first tight and closed in but with an hour of air opened into classic Pauilliac beauty. Cigar box nose deep juicy currant flavors and endless finish. Fourty years old and an average vintage - WOW

Waiting for it to open up. Hopefully will...

Slightly murky and older looking. More development on the nose , tobacco and dried fruit, coffee perhaps, quite herbaceous . More sweetness of fruit on the palate than expected and actually is more convincing . Ok length , not a great deal of complexity.. Still enjoyable to drink however.

This bottle is earthier than the last. Still good as it warms up.
