Château Latour--Vintage 1995
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
A mild, very rainy winter resulted in an exceptionally early budbreak which, however, continued over a very long period (recorded on 27 February for the Merlot and 24 March for the Cabernet Sauvignon). June was hot and dry. The drought continued in an alarming fashion throughout July and August, with three times less rainfall than normal during these three months. The green harvests that took place from 17 July to 4 August helped any overly laden vines, especially the younger ones, to withstand the heat wave. Fortunately, rain arrived on 7 September to "resuscitate" the vineyard and accelerate ripening. The harvests began with the Merlot on 13 September in overcast weather, and ended in the fine weather on the 27th, after some rain. However, no signs of dilution were detected in the wines.
Tasting note:
Rich, ripe wine. ARomas pf chocolate and notes of fresh mint. Very round in the mouth, supple, rich and ripe fuit, classic finish. Purity and concentration.
