FINE BORDEAUX INCLUDING THE LEGENDARY 1961 LATOUR
Château Latour 1961
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Slightly corroded capsules, one slightly damaged. One depressed cork. Bin-soiled labels, one very slightly damaged. Levels: two top-shoulder and one upper-shoulder.
Tasting note: Port-like, with an unctuous texture, and a dark garnet color with considerable amber at the edge, the 1961 Latour possesses a viscosity and thickness. One of the three bottles served at the Chateau's tasting revealed a surprisingly aggressive, minty, herbaceous nose, but the other two bottles were liquid perfection, exhibiting fragrant, cedary, truffle, leather, mineral, and sweet, jammy aromatics, full-bodied, voluptuous textures, exquisite purity and concentration, and a layered, highly-nuanced finish that represents the essence of compellingly great wine. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 129, June 2000.
