GREAT WINE FROM EXCEPTIONAL WINE DINNERS OF THE PAST
A case of 1961 Latour highlights a parcel of 1975 Lafite as well as a nice drinking parcel of 1996 premier cru White Burgundy.
Property of a discerning Lady.
Removed from temperature-controlled storage.
Château Latour--Vintage 1961
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Levels: two top and ten upper shoulder; bin soiled labels, ligthly corroded capsuels, different importer
"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. The 1961 has been fully mature for over 15 years, but it seems to get richer, holding onto its succulence and fat, and developing more aromatic nuances without losing any sweetness or concentration. An extraordinary wine, it is unquestionably one of the Bordeaux legends of the century! Anticipated maturity: now-2025." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #129 (Jun 00)
