Details
Château Latour--Vintage 1959
Pauillac, 1er cru classé.
All of excellent general appearance, with deep color, neck levels, and clean labels
"Nearly three dozen notes. Apart from one, all in marvellous condition. Indeed the wine is virtually indestructible. . . . Like Jane Russell, mean, moody, and magnificent. A huge mouthful, packed, austere. Massive and masculine throughout the 1980s. Still very deep, opaque centre, maturing edge; a misleading gentle, cedary nose with the mulberry character of intense, ripe Cabernet Sauvignon. Full-bodied, rich yet still very tannic." JMB
