LATOUR OF THE GREAT 1945 VINTAGE
Lying in Twickenham, Middlesex (EHD)
Château Latour--Vintage 1945
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Very corroded capsules. Very bin-soiled labels, one damaged. Levels upper-shoulder
Tasting note: A great wine. Surely one of the best ever Latours, drinking beautifully now but with many years more life. An amalgam of notes gathered at dinners and tastings: always deep, with an opaque core, spicy bouquet, eucalyptus, cedar, smokey tea (Lapsang), cheesy - not smelly cheese but a sort of sweaty tannin. Full-bodied, rich, complete, silky, tannins, complex, great length. *****. M.B.
