Note di degustazione
Retail price in 2006 when The Sampler opened was £600. Still amazingly deep ruby. Definitely old rather than mature on the nose but so heady it also suggests great voluptuousness. Very much of another era but some suggestion of lilies as well as balsam. Still masses of intensity and even some tannins as well as acid. Graphite and grit. Food, please! You’d be completely crazy to drink this without it. Mid weight. Long with grip. The empty glass smelt beautiful. (JR)

A spectacular Latour, from a vintage that has provided many superb surprises (especially in the Medoc and Graves), the deep garnet-colored 1955 reveals some amber at the edge. It remains tannic, but its extraordinary perfume of smoked meats, dried herbs, cedar, black fruits, underbrush, and leather is seductive. It is full-bodied, with a sweet, intense mid-palate, plenty of power, and decades of life remaining. This is an under-rated, stunning Latour that may even improve. Anticipated maturity: now-2020.
