Chateau Latour 1996 Chateau Latour 1996 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe Lot 9283: Original tissues, late release from chateau in 2010 Lot 9284: 1 slightly soiled label Lot 9285: Taiwanese slip labels Last tasted at a great Imperial dinner in Hong Kong in 2011. A lovely 'sweet' bouquet, almost 'floral', like the 2000. Very hedonistic. Under all the ripeness, there is terrific structure. Red fruits on the finish. Marvellous wine which wowed everyone. Serena Sutcliffe, M.W. Lot 9283 12 bts (owc) Lot 9284 12 bts (sc) per lot: HKD 50000-70000 per lot: USD 6500-9000 The power and glory of Latour are undisputed. The consistency of Latour, due to its fabulous gravel soil, great situation near the Gironde and a succession of inspired winemakers, is unrivaled. It is a wine that can start slowly and then takes off like a rocket. It is always profound with many layers of taste, a real reflection of the heart of Pauillac. Latour is famous for producing impressive wine in more modest vintages, but it knows how to seize great vintages and make them monuments. Serena Sutcliffe, M.W. Quantity: 1
