Château Latour--Vintage 1955
12 bottles per lot
Château Latour--Vintage 1955 Pauillac, 1er cru classé Nine slightly corroded capsules. All slightly bin-soiled labels, four damp-affected and stained. Levels: nine top-shoulder and three upper-shoulder. In original wooden case Tasting Note: A spectacular Latour, from a vintage that has provided many superb surprises (especially in the Médoc and Graves), the deep garnet-coloured 1955 reveals some amber at the edge. It remains tannic, but its extraordinary perfume of smoked meats, dried herbs, cedar, black fruits, underbrush, and leather is seductive. It is full-bodied, with a sweet, intense mid-palate, plenty of power, and decades of life remaining. This is an under-rated, stunning Latour that may even improve. Anticipated maturity: now-2020.
