Details
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Labels: six excellent, six bin-soiled and damp-affected. Levels: eight base of neck, three top and one upper-shoulder
In original wooden case
Purchased at Christie's Finest & Rarest sale in June 1995, when it was sold by a gentleman who had purchased it from Christie's on June 27th 1974
Many notes: Latour made superlative wine in 1929. Impressively deep, even for Latour, opaque centre, lovely and lively; a truly exciting, richly scented nose, spicy cloves, eucalyptus, sage. On the palate: immensely sweet and rich for a Médoc, for Latour. Well-endowed with alcohol, extract and fruit. Velvety. A wonderfully full, elongated shape in the mouth, with marvellous length and glorious aftertaste. Five stars, one is tempted to add a sixth. MB
