Product information

Scoring 96/100 Parker points this stunning red wine is "The wine of the vintage, the 1966 Latour is a classic, old style Bordeaux that has required decades to become drinkable. A dark, opaque garnet colour is followed by a fabulous nose of cedar, sweet leather, black fruits, prunes, and roasted walnuts, refreshing underlying acidity, sweet but noticeable tannin, and a spicy finish. This powerful, vigorous, immensely impressive, concentrated Latour has reached its plateau of maturity, where it will remain for another 10-20 years." Drink now - 2020 I was often disappointed by Latour in the nineties, which hinted at great potential but didn't let much out with its massive tannins. This has now changed considerably. In 2001 Latour was the wine of the evening, Cabernet in perfection (decanted 2 hours before), still strong tannins, but wonderful melting, Latour in perfection - 96/100 (source: Wineterminator.com Dr. Becker).
