Château Latour--Vintage 1964
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Excellent appearance. Harvey's slip label. Very good level. 4.5 litre bottle
Tasting Note: Vying with Pétrus as the finest '64. 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 1970's, 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 1980's. Tasted or drunk on a dozen occasions in the 1990's, all very good indeed save for an oxidised bottle. If anything goes to show 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. Then a tasting for the Bar 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 Paulo Pong's dinner tasting. Oct 2000. ***** M.B.
