Details
Château Latour--Vintage 1959
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Lot 38 bin-soiled label, slightly stained. Level very top-shoulder. Lot 39 level base of neck. Lot 40 level top-shoulder
Tasting note: A glorious mammoth wine. It just goes from strength to strength. Forty notes from July 1963. Initially a black purple colour, nose packed with fruit, full-bodied, its extract and sheer power seeming to absorb, partially to disguise its tannic intensity.More recently, showing no signs of flagging, its opacity merely prefacing its beautifully developed bouquet, excellent flavour and perfect balance - perfect enough to keep up the maturing process for another quarter century. Last noted at the Russian National Orchestra dinner at Hatchlands, Surrey, Dec 2000 ****(**)! M.B.
