Château Latour 1974 Pauillac

Château Latour 1974 is a mature-vintage red wine from the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux, based on Cabernet Sauvignon. Château Latour is one of the oldest wine-producing properties in Pauillac, with a history dating back to the 14th century, and was classified as a First Growth in 1855. It is known for wines of remarkable longevity. The 1974 vintage is dark ruby, with good fruit, medium body, surprising depth and ripeness for the year, and a sinewy, tannic finish, avoiding the harshness and fruit deficiency found in many 1974s.
