Château Latour--Vintage 1966
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Lot 510 levels: one bottom neck, one very top and two top shoulder; lightly bin soiled labels. Lot 511 levels: five upper and one mid-upper and one mid-shoulder; bin soiled labels, some loose. Lot 512 levels: four very top and eight top shoulder; bin soiled labels, some loose
A favourite of mine, and not because the grapes were being picked the very day Christie's new wine department was conducting its first sale. Overall, lean long distance runner though Latour anything but lean. Well over two dozen notes. Still opaque; nose dumb with much to come; massive and magnificent. Will last well into the next century. Last tasted in New York, October 1996. MB
