1926 Latour

Tasted 2 Times With Consistent Notes This bottle of 1926 Latour, which clearly demonstrates the fact that there are no great wines, just great bottles, was in far better shape than the 1929, and was vastly superior to a 1926 Latour I tasted in Bordeaux in March, 1991. At first, the aromas were muddled, but with breathing they offered up the classic Latour scents of walnuts, black fruits, herbs, and oak. Surprisingly, in the mouth the wine was muscular and rustic, with considerable tannin, plenty of richness, and amazing freshness. Fully mature, with some amber and brown hues in its color, as well as acidity in the finish, I would opt for consuming this wine over the near-term.
