Tasting note: Medium garnet-colored with moderate amber at the edge, the 1978 Latour
offers a spicy, saddle leather, tobacco, dried herb, earthy nose with
sweet fruit trying to poke through. Interestingly, new oak also makes an
appearance in the flavors. Medium-bodied, elegant, and fragrant, but
possibly beginning to dry out, this fully mature wine requires
consumption over the next decade. (90pts. Robert Parker)
Tasted: Jun. 2000
Score: 90
Drink: N/A
Tasting note: Better than I anticipated. A sleek and racy wine.Ruby-amber color.
Aromas of cedar, cigar box,tobacco, mint and mushrooms, with hints of
redfruits, follow though to a medium body with finetannins and a long,
silky finish. Excellent now,but a little more bottle age would only
improve it. (92pts. JS, Wine Spectator)
