1967 Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste – A Mature Pauillac with Historic Charm
The 1967 Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste comes from a vintage that, while not among Bordeaux’s most renowned, offers a fascinating look at how classic Pauillac wines evolve over time. The 1967 growing season was marked by cooler weather and rain during harvest, which led to wines that were more delicate and initially best suited for earlier drinking. However, well-stored bottles from top châteaux like Grand-Puy-Lacoste, known for its structured and Cabernet Sauvignon-driven style, can still provide a refined and nuanced tasting experience. …

1967 Château Lafite Rothschild – Magnum (1.5L)
A rare large-format bottle from one of the world’s most prestigious estates, the 1967 Lafite Rothschild is a testament to the finesse and longevity of Pauillac’s first growths.

At over five decades of age, this wine displays a mature, refined bouquet of cedarwood, dried red currants, cigar box, forest floor, and subtle spice.

Magnum . For me, the star of the evening. So complete, so much at the height of its powers, so dense yet fresh.I couldn't help thinking of that ad for menthol cigarettes - 'pure as mountain stream' was the slogan, wasn't it? Sweet and richly flattering without being remotely heavy. It's possible that in bottle sizes this wine is much more developed. Jancis Robinson

"Unquestionably the best wine produced in the Medoc in 1967, the Latour has dark ruby color with some browning at the edges, a medium- to full-bodied feel, plenty of black currant fruit, and some light, soft tannins still present. …

Reviews
"The wine of the vintage, the 1966 Latour is a classic, old style Bordeaux that has required decades to become drinkable. A dark, opaque garnet color is followed by a fabulous nose of cedar, sweet leather, black fruits, prunes, and roasted walnuts, refreshing underlying acidity, sweet but noticeable tannin, and a spicy finish. This powerful, vigorous, immensely impressive, concentrated Latour has reached its plateau of maturity, where it will remain for another 10-20 years.

Reviews: "The 1966 is still dark ruby with a peppery, very spice, yet tight, relatively closed bouquet. The wine is austere and tough on the palate, with good fruit and firm, rough tannins. Comparatively, it is not as massive or as rich as the 1970, 1964, or 1961, but is still backward and austere" PArker Wine Advocate 1996
