Louis Latour, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, Burgundy, 1978

Drinking Window: 2021 – 2021
The 1978, a favourite for decades, is now after 40-plus years, on its decline. This ‘orange wine’ still has good depth, providing nuttiness, dried stone fruit-like flavours, and an exotic twinge, all supported by lemony acidity. It’s just lost the ‘wow’ factor and elegance that it formerly had. Still, I’d be happy to have another glass.
