Chateau Latour are wines with a body full and generous and offering a splendid red fruit bouguet . The label is in prestine condition and the colour is a nice ruby when held up to the light .

A spectacular Latour, from a vintage that has provided many superb surprises (especially in the Medoc and Graves), the deep garnet-colored 1955 reveals some amber at the edge. It remains tannic, but its extraordinary perfume of smoked meats, dried herbs, cedar, black fruits, underbrush, and leather is seductive. It is full-bodied, with a sweet, intense mid-palate, plenty of power, and decades of life remaining. This is an under-rated, stunning Latour that may even improve.

Mahogany core with tawny rim. The nose is lovely, with mint, cherry and redcurrants. There is a fantastic lift and unerring vivacity about it. The palate is medium-bodied with racy acidity, fine tannins, very classic in style but with superb freshness and poise. Another testament to the greatness of this overlooked vintage. Drink now. Tasted December 2006.
Neal Martin 95-97 Drink 1993 - 2013
The most youthful looking of the three 1955 Pauillac First Growths. A wonderful, quite lush and sumptuous nose again with a touch of peppermint. A rich, decadent palate with perfect acidity and a lovely balance. Vivacious wine, regal with an almost Tuscan flamboyance. Damson, a touch of kirsch and hoi sin on the finish. The most sturdy of the three with the greatest potential to last. Tasted November 2005.
