Château Latour--Vintage 1979
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
All lots levels: bottom neck or better
Lot 481-486 in original wooden cases
Parcel: lots 481-486
"This wine has been difficult to evaluate, as evidenced by mutiple tasting notes that varied greatly in terms of the wine's style and quality. In most examples, the 1979 Latour has been backward and astringent, with medium body and reasonably good fruit. Two examples have been quite rich, with noticeable acidity, medium body, and the classic Latour mineral, walnut, and black fruit character. As I have said before, this wine is a light-bodied version of the outstanding 1971 Latour. Anticipated maturity: Now-2005. Last tasted 1/97" Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition (1998)
