This time, a 1975 Chateau Latour. These wines always amaze me. It is always crazy to drink a wine that is older than you. It is hard to put an experience to a wine from a year that you were never born; no context, no life experience, no conception to what was going on in the world. Just the wine in the bottle and what you think; kind of daunting.
But, aside from that, the wine itself was insanely cool. It was on its decline, but even so had some great properties. The earthy qualities mixed with the raisined fruit made this a real example of what aged wine is; subtile, haunting, and incredibly interesting. If you get the chance to try something like this, take it!
