Note di degustazione
The 1967 Latour is a vintage that I had never tasted until it was poured blind at the château. It is probably the best Left Bank from this season that I have tasted. It has a lovely mint-tinged nose with pencil box scents interwoven into the red fruit. There is more red fruit on the palate, a touch of licorice and a silky texture. Perfectly judged acidity, this is no powerful Latour, yet it has superb balance and plenty of depth of the slightly piquant finish. Bon vin . Tasted at the château.

Magnum . For me, the star of the evening. So complete, so much at the height of its powers, so dense yet fresh.I couldn't help thinking of that ad for menthol cigarettes – 'pure as mountain stream' was the slogan, wasn't it? Sweet and richly flattering without being remotely heavy. It's possible that in bottle sizes this wine is much more developed. (JR)
Unquestionably the best wine produced in the Medoc in 1967, the Latour has dark ruby color with some browning at the edges, a medium- to full-bodied feel, plenty of black currant fruit, and some light, soft tannins still present. Head and shoulders above the other first-growths, this wine has the classic Latour bouquet of black walnuts, black currants, mineral scents, and cedarwood. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 1/85.
