1970 Chateau Latour

[TheEngineer]

I'm starting to get to some of the notes I made last week. What a treat!

This is a GREAT wine. For me, the intoxicating nose, mature now, but still showing fruit and secondary notes in a very powerful but elegant way. The wine is still dark but evidently older, first impression are of teh flavors that are still there but it is behind a veil. You need to look for them, they are so balanced, cedar, tobacco, cassis, earthiness, berries and slight herbs, all playing together so well. Lovely mid + density still and good long lingering finish. this wine was absolutely regal in its status. Some might argue over the hill but for me who does not have this every other night, it was a regal presentation.
