Description

A bottle of 1961 Grand Vin de Château Latour from Bordeaux's Pauillac appellation.

'One of the 20th century's most profound wines. I can't say it is better than the 1982, it just has even more complexity, since it is 21 years older. But, wow, the youthfulness this wine holds onto with its incredible nose of crème de cassis, cedar wood, baking spices and a touch of lead pencil shavings, this full-bodied, opulent wine is magnificent. 100 Points'.

Robert Parker, Hedonists Gazette, 2016
