Details
Château Latour--Vintage 1949
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Levels: eleven top and one upper/mid shoulder; ten reconditioned in the 1980s with good appearance, two original bottlings, one damp stained label, one heavy damp stained label and corroded capsule
In original wooden case
"On each of the previous occasions I have had this wine it has flirted with perfection. This bottle was again a riveting, opulently-textured drinking experience. Its spectacularly perfumed bouquet consists of truffles, black tea, soy, minerals, and copious sweet prune, coffee-infused, black currant fruit. Sweet on the attack, with a rare opulence, a voluptuous texture, full body, terrific freshness, and a chewy, fleshy, succulent finish, this has always been great stuff. This bottle was no exception. It has been fully mature for 25-30 years, but well-stored or larger format bottlings will last another two decades." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #129 (June 2000)
