Château Latour 1961 Pauillac, 1er cru classé Corroded and damaged capsules, bin-soiled and stained labels, one damaged, Nath. Johnston & Fils strips Levels one top shoulder, three upper shoulder, one mid-upper shoulder, two mid shoulder, three mid-low shoulder, and two low shoulder Tasting Note: 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! 100 RP 12 bottles per lot
