89/100 points, Robert PARKER - « The Wine Advocate » Robert PARKER - “The Wine Advocate” “In this rather mediocre year of green, arrogant, hollow wines, Latour produced one of the Best wines of the vintage. Not yet fully mature, this dark ruby wine has good fruit, medium body, surprising depth and maturity for the vintage, and a tannic finish. It avoids the harshness and lack of fruit found in so many 1974s.” [ref.

The Latour wine is an example of regularity whatever the quality of the vintage. It requires long aging to reveal all its depth, power and extraordinary richness. At perfect maturity, the wine is distinguished by an incredible bouquet of blackcurrant, hazelnut and leather. A monumental wine. __________________________________________ THE CHÂTEAU LATOUR DOMAIN Created around 1680, the Château Latour vineyard is one of the oldest in the Médoc.
