Lot 261 , 1995 Chateau Latour, Premier Cru Classe, Pauillac, France (12) (In bond)

1995 Chateau Latour, Premier Cru Classe, Pauillac, France (12) (In bond) 96
A beauty, the opaque dense purple-colored 1995 exhibits jammy cassis, vanillin, and minerals in its fragrant but still youthful aromatics. Medium to full-bodied, with exceptional purity, superb concentration, and a long, intense, ripe, 40-second finish, this is a magnificent example of Latour. As the wine sat in the glass, scents of roasted espresso and toasty new oak emerged. This classic will require considerable cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2050.
