		Chateau Latour was classified as a first growth in the 1855 classification.

		Latour is situated in the south of the Pauillac appellation bordering St-Julien and its 65 hectares of vineyards are nearer to the Gironde estuary than any other 1st Growth.
		Latour's vineyards are distinguished by their very high gravel content as well as their extraordinary depth, with many of the vines penetrating as far as 5 metres into the soil.
		The high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon makes Latour the most tannic and opaque in colour and impenetrable of all the 1st Growths when young, but, with extended cellaring and the overall impression is of intense, piercing, flcurrant fruits, intermingled with cedarwood and bolstered by rich, ripe tannins.

		hen one evokes the name Château Latour, one immediately thinks of a fortified tower built on the banks of an estuary overlooking the water, the vines and the marshes.
		This vineyard has a typical Médoc topography, with a gentle rise in the ground, bounded on the north and south by two small streams, and on the east by the "Palus", the low lying meadows by the river.
		Two other grape varieties, the Cabernet Franc and the Petit Verdot, make up respectively for 4% and 1% of the total planted vineyard, and are in most cases mixed in with the parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

		Following its sale in 1797, Chateau Lafite passed through the hands of a number of owners, but by 1818 the estate was owned by the Vanlerberghe family, although for much of this time it was managed by Sir Samuel Scott and and his son, also Samuel Scott.

		The bouquet on this wine is great Latour awakening: scents of sweet cassis and flberry fruit, cigar box, fl truffle, tar, earth, smoke, grilled nuts, herbs, bitter chocolate and cedar are all coaxed from the glass with air and swirling.
		Believe it or not, the 1966 Latour is anywhere from ten to twenty years still away from its apogee.
		As the 1978 have aged, and many have developed some green notes of underripeness, it is enjoyable to see the '78 Forts de Latour emerge and demonstrate that many of the early prognostications concerning the fine nature of the vintage was not entirely off target.

		A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and the balance primarily Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it reveals a sweetness on the palate that is atypical for such a young Latour.

		Château Latour is one of Bordeaux’s and, indeed, the wine world’s most famous names.
		A champion of power and structure, Latour eschews the elegance of Lafite and the aromatic complexity of Mouton and is perhaps the most consistent of the First Growths (certainly more so than Lafite or Margaux).
		Impressive in its youth, Latour nevertheless packs on even more weight and complexity as the years drift by and ‘supple’ is an adjective which it never justifies.

		In most examples, the 1979 Latour has been backward and astringent, with medium body and reasonably good fruit.
