LATOUR 1959
Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Château Latour--Vintage 1959
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
One slightly corroded capsule. Bin-soiled labels, three slightly damaged, one damaged. Levels: three top, two upper, one mid/upper-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.
