Château Latour--Vintage 1961
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Levels: one upper/mid shoulder and three mid shoulder; one cut cupsule, château branded and vintage stamped corks, lightly bin soiled labels, one sign of old seepage
"Of the eight recent notes, its depth of colour is the first thing one notices, and its nose, rather like Lafite's is a bit slow to open up, Suprisingly sweet too yet a very tannic finish (at Aschau in 1994). In 1997, a corky, woody bottle at a Saintbury Club dinner. It was helped along by the cheese souffle. At the La Réserve tasting, despite its extraordinary sweet, nose-filling bouquet, a mammoth wine, all the component parts excessively represented. Most recently, a superb bottle at Josh Latner's dinner. Last tasted Jan 2000 ****(**) Another half century of life." MB, Vintage Wine
