1970 Chateau Latour 'Les Forts de Latour'

"The ’70 Les Forts de Latour has aged exceedingly well over forty years. A light, gravely, earthy, mulberry-scented bouquet that just lacks a little definition due to its rusticity. Medium-bodied on the palate, still retaining a pleasing degree of freshness with red-berried fruit: vestiges of raspberry and wild strawberry, although dominated by cigar box and leather. Smooth texture, quite corpulent, as if the merlot is in the driving seat rather than the Cabernet. Soft landing on the finish. Drink now." - Wine Advocate
