Description

- This wine is universally acclaimed as being one of the great Latours

- Here are a few quotes -

- "Score: 96 Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book (4), December 2003

The wine of the vintage, the 1966 Latour is a classic, old style Bordeaux that has required decades to become drinkable. A dark, opaque garnet color is followed by a fabulous nose of cedar, sweet leather, black fruits, prunes, and roasted walnuts, refreshing underlying acidity, sweet but noticeable tannin, and a spicy finish. This powerful, vigorous, immensely impressive, concentrated Latour has reached its plateau of maturity, where it will remain for another 10-20 years."


- "Around a dozen notes but none prior to 1976. By that time an unsurprisingly magnificent depth of colour, its core opaque. Enormous, well stacked, velvety, unready. In fact the slowest maturing of all the '66s. The Latour was perfection: fine colour, fragrant cedary bouquet, unblemished flavour and condition. In October 2000 drinking well….a flavoury, beautifully textured wine, with time in hand. Most recently: opaque core; sweet old cedary bouquet, starting show some age; very rich mouthful, dry finish. Last tasted 2001. 5 Stars * * * * * "

Michael Broadbent, Vintage Wine, January 2002

- Bottle looks in fine condition level as per photos which is perfectly normal for a wine of this age, no signs of seepage etc, capsule has a tear below and to the left of the tower and there is a round Berry Brothers label
