Château Latour--Vintage 1961
2 magnums per lot
Château Latour--Vintage 1961 Pauillac, 1er cru classé Lot 159 level: bottom neck; cracked wax capsule, château and vintage branded cork, Cave Maxim's Paris neck and strip label (see photo), three part molded glass. Lot 160 levels: into neck; original capsules cut to reveal château and vintage branded corks, Etablissements Nicolas stamped labels "Port-like, with an unctuous texture, and a dark garnet color with considerable amber at the edge, the 1961 Latour possesses a viscosity and thickness. One of the three bottles served at the Chateau's tasting revealed a surprisingly aggressive, minty, herbaceous nose, but the other two bottles were liquid perfection, exhibiting fragrant, cedary, truffle, leather, mineral, and sweet, jammy aromatics, full-bodied, voluptuous textures, exquisite purity and concentration, and a layered, highly-nuanced finish that represents the essence of compellingly great wine. The 1961 has been fully mature for over 15 years, but it seems to get richer, holding onto its succulence and fat, and developing more aromatic nuances without losing any sweetness or concentration. An extraordinary wine, it is unquestionably one of the Bordeaux legends of the century! Anticipated maturity: now-2025. 100 points." Robert Parker Wine Advocate #129 (Jun 2000) 2 magnums per lot
