Details
Chteau Latour--Vintage 1966
Pauillac, 1er cru class. Chteau-bottled
Labels lightly bin-soiled. Levels: the first dozen base of neck or better. The second dozen: six base of neck, four very top-shoulder, one top-shoulder and one upper-shoulder. The third dozen: four base of neck, two very top-shoulder, three top-shoulder and three upper-shoulder
In original wooden cases
Tasting note: A favourite of mine, and not because the grapes were being picked the very day Christie's new wine department was conducting its first sale. Overall, lean long distance runner though Latour anything but lean. Well over two dozen notes. Still opaque; nose dumb with much to come; massive and magnificent. Will last well into the next century. Last tasted in New York, October 1996. M.B.
