La Tour Haut Brion 1975 750mL [High Shoulder, Slightly Scuffed Label]

"The 1975 La Tour-Haut-Brion has consistently been a great wine. As many wine enthusiasts have done, I have made the mistake of drinking it too early. I have only two bottles (from a case and a half) remaining in my cellar. The wine is more developed than La Mission-Haut-Brion, exhibiting a huge, sweet, cedary, tobacco, mineral, chocolatey, smoky, cassis-scented nose and flavors. It is massive and full-bodied, with well-integrated tannin (because of the wine's sweet, jammy fruit). The wine exhibits good grip and that firm edge found in almost all the 1975s." - Wine Advocate, RP96, tasted 12/1997
