Second time I taste the Latour Martillac 1955, and this time much more interesting. This is not your everyday white, this is a dry Bordeaux but made from semillion with quite some sweetness. The sweetness has kept this wine balanced for 56 years, and where a lot of other white Bordeaux fall appart, …
Good (85 - 87)
Comte de Vogue, Chambolle Musigny Les Amoureuses 1994
