Château Latour--Vintage 1961
Pauillac, 1er cru classé.
First and second lots with neck levels; third lot with levels of four top-shoulder and two high-shoulder; all with excellent color and labels
"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
