Château Latour--Vintage 1959
1 magnum per lot
1959 BORDEAUX: A CLASSIC FOR CONNOISSEURS "A great vintage. Hugely popular with the British wine trade, proclaimed by the pundits as 'the vintage of the century' and très grands vins by the Bordelais, the optimists were not far out despite some talk of the lack of acidity. Apropos, the eminent Professor Peynaud states that if a wine has an abundance of all the major component parts, alcohol, extract, fruit and tannin, an equally high level of acidity is not only not essential, it is not necessary. The 1959 vintage was blessed with a very favourable growing season, in particular a fine, warm summer, with rain mid-September to swell the grapes; the harvest followed a week or so later."***** MB, Vintage Wine Château Latour--Vintage 1959 Pauillac, 1er cru classé Later release from the Château, Neck tag states: Andre Crispin Selections, Houston, Texas 1 magnum per lot
