The first vintage after Ch Latour went into stainless steel fermentation tanks. Magnum. Fine, open, light smoked meats and gingerbread on nose, full ripe sweet and still youthful, dried cherry, some minerally ironstone aromas, palate soft long and persistent, soft tannins and balanced acidity. (RS)

In 1964, as in 1966 and 1967, Latour was the best wine in the Medoc. The 1964 is drinking beautifully now, but it should hold for at least another decade. The bouquet is powerful, spicy, and filled with aromas of minerals, black fruits, and licorice. Rich, round, supple, generous flavors show excellent concentration. Soft tannins and a silky, rich, very long finish make this a sumptuous, even opulent Latour.

Considered the best from a difficult vintage, this wine is mature now, with open smoke, mineral and gamelike aromas and fading but still elegant flavors of cedar and chocolate.
