Château Latour--Vintage 1961
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Level: top shoulder; one corroded capsule, vintage branded cork; soiled and torn labels
"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 (Jun 2000)
