Description

The weather conditions
Signs of growth first appeared on 5 April but the development of vegetation was slow until the end of the month. It speeded up in May and flowering started on the 29th. The beginning of June was hot and stormy with heavy rains. The weather remained hot with occasional rainstorms. July was hot and dry, as was August. Harvest prospects were excellent. The weather in September was variable but did not impede the ripening of the grapes ; and harvesting began on 25 September under a fine weather and ended 8 October. It rained almost continuously from 7-17 October. Under these conditions, the quality of the wines largely depended upon the date of the harvest. Latour was fortunate.
Vintage quality and tasting comments
Highly-colored, very strong and with a very spicy bouquet ; rich and "rôti "on the palate. Today (2000) the 1964 is probably one of the best example of a mature and ready to drink Château Latour. The bouquet shows layers of cigar, coffee, cedar, wax and spices. The mouth is extremely round and sweet, very nicely balanced . Not an " enormous " wine, but truly interesting and enjoyable.
The moment for optimal drinking and best way of serving
The wine is now at its optimum and should be drunk within the next 10-15 years.
Keep the bottle vertical at least half a day to settle the sediments at the bottom of the bottle. Then slowly pour the wine into a decanter in order to get rid of these sediments, keep in the decanter for 1/2 hour for aeration and serve.

Vying with Petrus as the finest '64. Michael Broadbent

Chateau Latour (Pauillac) 1964: An intense red colour, with again little tawniness to the hue. On the nose rich, ripe fruit, some spices and pepper. On the palate, an amazing quantity of black fruit, still just a little too much tannin but good acidity. Finishes smoothly with good length. Amazingly this wine is still not at its peak. From a Bordeaux 1964 horizontal blind tasting. 17.5+/20 The Wine Doctor.


This is the type of wine that at once seems very special. You do not have to fret about glass type used, detailed analysis, etc. It at once presents itself as a very balanced and integrated whole. The mixed dark fruit fruit is intense and very typical of top red Bordeaux. There is some cedar. The acid and tannins are in perfect balance. The wine is quite full but well balanced. The intensity is high and the aftertaste fine and very long. The color is still deep and shows only a little evidence of age around the rim. I can find nothing to complain about.
