Château Latour 1995
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden case. Capsule conge. Original tissues. Levels: base of neck or better
Tasting note: 100% new oak noted when first tasting the ’95 at the chateau in April 1997. As expected, very intense, with opaque core; gloriously sweet and fragrant nose; good consistency, well integrated, very dry tannic finish. Next, in November 1997, at the pre-sale tasting mentioned above, with more flesh and fruit than the Lafite. Very good, but colossally tannic at the MW Tasting in 1999. Latour 1995: A beauty, the opaque dense purple-coloured 1995 exhibits jammy cassis, vanillin, and minerals in its fragrant but still youthful aromatics. Medium to full-bodied, with exceptional purity, superb concentration, and a long, intense, ripe, 40-second finish, this is a magnificent example of Latour. As the wine sat in the glass, scents of roasted espresso and toasty new oak emerged. This classic will require considerable cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2050.
