Two Ages of Latour
Château Latour 1928 and 1961 reveal two paths of ageing in Pauillac. One reached delicacy; the other retained remarkable structure. Together, they show how Cabernet Sauvignon and a great Bordeaux terroir can evolve for decades without losing identity.
Château Latour 1928 and 1961 showed us that time does not impose a single destiny on a great wine.
Château Latour 1928 and 1961 · Pauillac, Bordeaux
There are tastings built around comparison. This was not one of them. Placing Château Latour 1928 beside the 1961 did not feel like asking which bottle was greater. It felt like watching the same place speak from two different distances in time.
The labels already carried that distance. The 1928, worn and marked by nearly a century, seemed to belong as much to history as to the table. Beside it, the 1961 appeared almost contemporary. Yet beneath the differences in age, texture and energy, both wines carried something unmistakably shared. The authority of Cabernet Sauvignon. The depth of Pauillac. The particular severity of Latour, gradually transformed into precision.

Seasonal labels can give consumers a new reason to notice wine. The packaging may earn the first look, but the liquid must earn the second bottle.

The flute helped turn Champagne into a symbol of celebration. It also became one of the greatest obstacles to tasting it properly.
