Château Latour--Vintage 1961
Pauillac, 1er cru classé.
Levels of three top-shoulder in first lot; levels of two high-to-top-shoulder in second lot
"A huge, packed, fleshy, austere but magnificent wine, due
to its high alcohol and tannins. Almost chewable, I have tasted
more Latour than any other '61, some 30 or so notes, and believe that, like the '28, it will need a full half-century to
come round." JMB
3 bottles per lot
