Château Latour--Vintage 1966
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Very bin-soiled labels. Levels: one just below top, one upper, one mid/upper-shoulder
Tasting note: The wine of the vintage, the Latour 1966 is a classic, old style Bordeaux that has required decades to become drinkable. A dark, opaque garnet color is followed by a fabulous nose of cedar, sweet leather, black fruits, prunes, and roasted walnuts, refreshing underlying acidity, sweet but noticeable tannin, and a spicy finish. This powerful, vigorous, immensely impressive, concentrated Latour has reached its plateau of maturity, where it will remain for another 10-20 years. Robert Parker, June 2000
