Château Latour--Vintage 1964
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden case
"Vying with Ch Pétrus as the finest '64. Picking started 25 September and was completed before the rains came on 7 October. A large number of notes,over 30, starting with a very attractive 'sweet fruity' cask sample in April 1965. Good but still austere and unready in the early 1970s, though later 'like a '59', and in 1978 'will probably develop like the '43s'-by which I meant rich but blunt. Its nose and taste opened up, demonstrating its flesh and rich character through the 1980s. Tasted or drunk on a dozan occasions in the 1990s, all very good indeed save for an oxidised bottle. If anything goes to shoe what an immense difference bottle age can do to a top-class claret, the continuing evolution of the '64 Latour is the perfect example. It goes on and on gaining extra dimensions. On the last three occasions a marvellous mouthful, plump, perfectly balanced, rounded and sweet yet still with a tannic finish (Bordeaux Club dinner 1997). Then a tasting for the Bür Bank in Zurich in 1998, losing its pristine depth of colour. A bouquet of cedar and old oak (the tree not the cask). Fully mature, lovely flavour. Most recently showing well at Paolo Pong's dinner tasting." Oct 2000 MB, Vintage Wine
