Highlights
Chateau Latour 1934
A deeper colour than the Lafite ’34 with a very complex nose with wild mint, mulberry, tobacco, white pepper, blood orange and even burnt honey. It could almost be a mature Australian Cabernet! Wonderful. The palate does not quite match the nose, rather muffled and rustic in character with sour cherry, tangerine and dried blood. Very good length and persistency with a touch of black tea loitering on the finish, moving more towards sour cherry and singed leather. Impressive, but drink up.

From what is considered to be the finest vintage of a disappointing decade, Latour's 1934 possesses a deep garnet color in addition to a smoky, mineral, sweet, cedary-scented nose with hints of tobacco, iron, asphalt, and a Provencal garrigue note. Ripe and long, with moderate tannin and admirable sweetness, the 1934 was showing exceptionally well. It appears capable of lasting for another decade.
