Château Latour 1970 (12 BT)

Château Latour 1970

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

u. 2 bn, 3 vts, 2 t/hs, 3 hs, 2 h/ms, very slightly scuffed labels and capsules, 5 slightly corroded capsules, 4 slightly sunken corks, in original tissues, purchased from Sotheby's Hong Kong, The Philanthropist's Cellar on 31 March 2018

In 2019, I have never had a better bottle (from our own stock, bought in the 1970s, with perfect storage). Great colour and a true Pauillac First Growth cassis nose, with an affinity to Mouton here. Aromatic Cabernet at its height and headily scented with sublime terroir. A fabulous sensation on the palate, with power, succulence, fruit and...obvious future longevity. An incredible cocoa powder finish - intoxicating really. A sleeping giant - perhaps only dozing. In 2020, it is just so soft and velvety, totally mouth-filling. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

2019年品嚐，之前從未試過如此出色的一瓶（出自我們的窖藏，1970年代購入，儲存條件良好）。酒液色澤迷人，散發波亞克產區一級酒莊的黑加崙子芳香，與木桐堡有幾分相似。卡本納葡萄香氣四溢，產地的風土氣息洶湧而至。口感精彩絕倫，澎湃多汁，果香豐沛，極具窖藏潛力。收結帶有一股不可思議的可可粉香，令人欲斷難捨。現時半途小試牛刀已一鳴驚人，日後繼續陳年必成酒中巨擘。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
