Château Latour--Vintage 1961
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Slightly damaged original capsules, one cut and repaired at Christie's warehouse. Slightly bin-soiled labels, one slightly stained and some with slight damage. All levels base of neck or better. In wooden case
Vintage Report: 1961 *****
A great vintage often compared to the 1945, for the two have several things on common. First of all, nature did the pruning; frosts severely reducing time potential crop in the 1945 and heavy rain washing away the pollen in the 1961. A drought in August was followed by a very sunny September which resulted in small, thick-skinned, well-nourished grapes in the turn producing deep-coloured, ripe but concentrated, tannic wines. The risk is that the tannin will outlive the fruit. Nevertheless some fabulous wines were made. M.B.
