Château Latour: Tasting & Drinking

For many, Château Latour is the epitome of wine. Many would regard it as the leading first growth of Bordeaux, and in the eternal quest to find ‘the wine of the vintage’ it is frequently Château Latour that comes out on top. The wine also has, as is fitting for a first growth, a phenomenal propensity for ageing well, with many tasters remarking that the 1899, 1900, 1928 or perhaps the 1945 (or in fact any number of other vintages) come high in their list of candidates for favourite Château Latour vintage. I am not so lucky to have tasted such exalted wines, and indeed tasting opportunities of mature vintages have come along infrequently in recent years.
