Description

a superbly stored, bottle of the great Chateau Latour 1995

Just the thing to make a perfect christmas lunch, to go the exta mile.

Possibly the wine of a very great vintage, coming into maturity.


Couple of notes from Parker:

I have been blown away by this wine on recent occasions, and all of my hopes for it being a prodigious example of Latour after bottling have proven to be correct. The wine is a more unctuously-textured, sweeter, more accessible Latour than the 1996. Wow! What a fabulous, profound wine this has turned out to be. It is unquestionably one of the great wines of the vintage, and will probably need 10-12 years of cellaring before it can be approached. The wine reveals an opaque purple color, and a knock-out nose of chocolate, walnuts, minerals, spice, and blackberry and cassis fruit. Exceptionally full-bodied, with exhilarating levels of glycerin, richness, and personality, this wine, despite its low acidity, possesses extremely high levels of tannin to go along with its equally gargantuan proportions of fruit. It is a fabulous Latour that should age effortlessly for 40-50 years. 96 Points

From last month:
Deep garnet-brick in color, the nose is well developed, displaying dried berry, leather, vanilla pod and anise notes with a faint whiff of potpourri. The palate is wonderfully fleshy and opulent with velvety, approachable tannins and a long finish. 96 Points


for me, in my opinion its a beautiful wine, with cascading layers of black and blue fruits, complex aromas, with intensity and crisp, elegant tannins. it is a masculine wine with gravitas.

Its also always worth remembering that a first growth is not really a first growth, unless it comes from a top vintage. and has the condition and provenance to back it all up.

1995 is a wonderful vintage, one of the finest on the left bank in the 1990's.
