A FINE CASE OF LATOUR 1961 IN ORIGINAL WOOD
Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Château Latour--Vintage 1961
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden case. Slightly corroded capsules, one damaged. Slightly bin-soiled labels, no tissues. Levels: four top, three upper, four mid/upper, one mid/low-shoulder
Tasting Note:A great vintage often compared with the 1945, for the two have several things in common. First of all, nature did the pruning: frosts severely reducing the potential crop in 1945 and heavy rain washing away the pollen in 1961... thick-skinned, well nourished grapes producing deep-coloured, ripe but concentrated, tannic wines...some fabulous wines were made***** M.B.
