Lot #288. Latour 1943

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: **** MB.
"The best of the war vintages. Overall, wines with richness and fruit . . . . A 'strapping' (strong, burly) note in the mid-1960s and, by the 1970s, changing colour, to paler but lovely autumnal red. I thought its bouquet was as good as the '45, beautifully developed, 'delicate but concentrated.' Rich, crisp and flavoury . . ." MIchael Broadbent MW, Michael Broadbent's Vintage Wine (C) 2002
Provenance: The Tower Cellar
Notes: Upper shoulder, worn and lightly torn Château- and vintage-branded capsule, Château- and vintage-branded cork visible below short capsule, nicked, very lightly bin soiled, and very lightly damp stained label.
