Description
The 1965 Château Latour is a vintage from one of Bordeaux’s most esteemed estates, located in the Pauillac appellation on the left bank of the Gironde River. Château Latour is renowned for producing some of the world's finest red wines, with a primary focus on Cabernet Sauvignon, along with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. espite Château Latour’s expertise and high-quality winemaking, the 1965 vintage generally produced wines that were softer and did not age as well as the great years from the estate. A bottle of 1965 Château Latour today may have historical or sentimental value with the wine itself is likely to be showing faded fruit and muted flavors due to the vintage's inherent qualities and age.
Wines from challenging vintages like 1965 generally do not have the longevity of those from more favorable years which have the structure and concentration to age gracefully over 50 years or more. The enjoyment of such a wine would come more from the experience of tasting a piece of history, rather than expecting vibrant flavors. Decanting the wine carefully to remove sediment is essential. Given the delicacy of such an old wine, it’s advisable to serve it soon after decanting, as it could deteriorate quickly once exposed to air.
