Château Latour--Vintage 1964
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Lot 27 levels: three top and nine upper shoulder. Lot 28 levels: seven upper and five upper/mid shoulder. Lot 29 levels: nine very top and three top shoulder. Lot 30 levels: top shoulder. Lot 31 levels: one top and one upper/top shoulder; bin soiled labels. Lot 32 levels: six very top, eleven top, five upper, one mid and one low/mid shoulder
Lot 27-30 and 32 in original wooden cases
From magnum: Richly textured, saturated color. Wonderfully complex aromas! An intoxicating mixture of cedar and tobacco leaf, all of which was dominated by fruit aromas. A very youthful and if served blindly, deceptive, evolution given its age. A classic Latour attack: masculine and firm. Excellent balance, rich extraction. Flavors follow through with leather, cedar spice. It is so good! In time, eucalyptus pops up on the nose and finish. Best version ever tasted. As Coates would say, "Bags of life." Again from bottle: holding up extremely well, great color, delicious fruit, excellent structure - wrinkles ironed out with age - tea leaves, tobacco like finish with prunes and fruit. Terrific condition. September-October 2003. ST
