Château Latour--Vintage 1995
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden case
Tasting Note: 100 new oak noted when first tasting the '95 at the chateau in April 1997. As expected, very intense, with opaque core; gloriously sweet and fragrant nose; good consistency, well integrated, very dry tannic finish. Next, in November 1997, at the pre-sale tasting mentioned above, with more flesh and fruit than the Lafite. Very good, but colossally tannic at the MW Tasting in 1999. At Rodenstock's blind tasting of first growth '95s, the nose somewhat chocolatey, also a whiff of tar; sweet, ripe, very dry but seemingly less oppressively tannic. A fine wine. Long life predicted. Last tasted March 2001 *****. M.B.
