Château Latour--Vintage 1928
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Very bin-soiled labels. Levels: one mid/low and one low-shoulder
Tasting note: It was, and still is, the star of the vintage. Like the 1870 Lafite, so dense, powerful and bitterly tannic that it was a full half century before it was mellow enough t be enjoyed. I considered it at its peak in the 1980s: intensely deep; spicy, cinnamon, cedary bouquet; surprisingly sweet and velvety despite its tannin, masculine with great concentration and length. But on it goes. Michael Broadbent M.W., January 2000
