Tasting notes
The ’45 Latour has a quite incredible, show-stopping bouquet: utterly decadent with black cherries, sloes, fennel, nail vanish and a lot of volatility…but still entrancing. The palate has a tangible medicinal quality to it, as noted on the bottle served at Linden’s vertical, extraordinarily rich and ravishing, although not as refined or profound as Mouton. Another bottle was similar with creme de menthe, precocious rounded red fruits, utterly harmonious with a ripe, sweet, almost tart-like finish. Wonderful…if a bit of a crazy Latour!
