"1969 was the last year when the winery was still owned by the de Latour family. It was a relatively cool vintage, offering wines of great purity. Medium to deep brick-brown, the 1969 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve Georges de Latour struts sternly out of the glass with notions of cedar chest, spice box, baked plums, dried mulberries, dried flowers, aniseed, dark chocolate, camphor and old chesterfield leading to hints of espresso, woodsmoke and charcuterie plus a touch of truffles. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is softly spoken and profound with layers of mineral and earth notions plus a smoky undercurrent, finishing with a dried herbs lift. Alcohol is just 12.5% for this vintage, and 11,830 cases were made."
