Description

Although 44 years old,the 1975 Chateau Latour (according to the wine cognoscenti below) is currently in its perfect drinking window:-

"Excellent, the standout wine of this lineup; hugely soft tannins and evident purity and integrity in the soft autumnal fruits, given extra complexity by notes of pencil lead and soft leather with crème de cassis on the finish. As with Les Forts de Latour, the wine would have been aged in new oak barrels, at least in part, and that has had an impact on how well it has aged. Henri Martin commented on September 26, as harvest was beginning, that the health of the grapes was superb, but that he felt the colour in the skins was a little lacking. He might have been pleasantly surprised by how well the colour has stood up to four decades of ageing, as this is one of the darkest and most complete on display. In the perfect window for drinking now, but honestly there is still no rush to consume".
(93 Points).

Jane Anson. (Decanter Magazine. October 2015).



"The 1975 Latour is a very good example of the vintage, which was nowhere near as successful in the Médoc as it was in the Right Bank and Graves. But, in this era, Latour always seemed to rise above the general level of the vintage in more difficult years, and this was certainly the case in 1975. The wine offers up a fine, classic bouquet of sweet cassis, cherries, Cuban cigar wrapper, black truffle, dark soil tones, cigar ash and just a hint of petroleum jelly in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and now very elegant in profile, with a solid core, excellent acids and still a bit of tannin perking up the long and complex finish. The 1975 vintage was the highest ever measured for tannins and acidity on the Left Bank, up until the 2010 vintage came along, so for the Latour ’75 to be so beautifully balanced forty years down the road is no small achievement! Fine juice and a sleeper vintage of Latour".

John Gilmam. (View from the Cellar. October 2017).



"1975 was a great vintage apart from rains in mid-September and into the harvest period. Brick colored, the 1975 Latour has a mature nose of fallen leaves, tobacco, figs and oolong tea with a savory/meaty core and wafts of dried fruitcake. The palate is medium-bodied, elegant, refreshing and softly textured with a long, mineral-laced finish".
(92 Points).

Lisa Perroti-Brown. (The Wine Advocate. February 2019).


A more recent tasting note on the 1975 Latour on Cellartracker:-

"Together with an '83 Mouton the best of the Bordeaux at this auction event.
Classic nose with some cedar, cherries and tobacco. Still quite youthful for its age and no forest aromas developing.
Palate is very structured with good acidity and lots of fine Pauillac tannins melting gracefully.
Expectations met, this wine (when cellared correctly) can stay like this for 1-2 more decades".
(94 Points).
