1789, das Jahr der französischen Revolution, kann kein schlechtes Weinjahr gewesen sein. Als ich im November 2004 vor mir ein Glas mit einem älteren Rotwein stehen hatte, war dieser unschwer als großer Bordeaux aus der Vor-Reblauszeit zu erkennen. Klare, fast brilliante Farbe mit noch intaktem Rot, in der Nase Erdbeerton, feine Süße, perfekt gereifter alter Cabernet, unendliche Finesse und zeitlose Eleganz, wie sie nur bei diesen Weinen zu finden ist. Dieser hier war ein ganz besonders erlesenes Stück. Platt war ich, als das Geheimnis gelüftet wurde. Eine 1928(!) rekorkte Flasche Latour aus dem Jahre 1789. Nicht nur mein bisher ältester Rotwein, sondern auch ein ganz, ganz großes Weinerlebnis – 100/100.
