1998 Latour 1er Cru Pauillac (Case - 12/75cl)

Chateau Latour is on the St Julien/Pauillac border and adjacent to Chateau Leoville Lascases. The generosity and heavenly balance of St Julien is combined with power and strength here to create what is for some, the finest vineyard in Bordeaux. 1998 was a difficult growing year, affected greatly by rainfall. A warm and dry September, followed by skillful selection managed to save a number of grapes for use in the Grand Vin. Now fully mature, this vintage ought to be drunk sooner rather than later.
