Château Latour--Vintage 1928
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Cut capsule, vintage on capsule states 1953. Fully branded cork states vintage 1928. Badly stained label. Level top-shoulder
Tasting note: This was, and still is, the star of the vintage. Like the 1870 Lafite, so dense, powerful and bitterly tannic that it was a full half century before it was mellow enough to be enjoyed. Most recently, an impressive bottle, fragrant, drinking perfectly. Last tasted Jan 2000. At best ***** M.B.
