I am glad that you liked the 70 Latour, because I have several bottles.
I probably have had more Bordeaux reds from 1970 than from any other
vintage. Just about everyone ranks the 70 Latour very highly. You
probably would have to go back to 1961 to find a better one. The auction
houses also like the 70 Latour. In the December issue of decanter, I
find that a case of Latour 70 goes for about 3520 Pounds in London,
while the other first growths run around 709 to 814 Pounds. Petrus is
more expensive at about 6050 Pounds, and Le Pin was not listed. When I
bought my Latour shortly after release, it was no more expensive than
some of the other first growths, but it has been quite expensive for
many years now. It is very likely that the 70 Latour will still be in
good form after many of us are gone.
