A SUPERB PRIVATE COLLECTION INCLUDING LATOUR 1949, ROMANEE CONTI 1990 AND A RANGE OF LEROY
We are thrilled to offer an extensive private collection of wines which include rare treasures from Bordeaux and Burgundy. This collection was built up by a private individual with a great passion for excellent vintages of top-quality producers over a number of years.
Lots 264-440
Lying in Corsham, Wilshire (Octavian)
Château Latour 1949
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Recent Château release. Very slightly bin-soiled labels, otherwise very good appearance. Levels: into-neck
Tasting note: 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, blackcurrant 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
