1959 Château Latour Grand Vin

Community Tasting Note

96 Points

Friday, June 9, 2023 - A pre-50 pre Birthday Celebration; 6/9/2023-6/11/2023 (Around Zurich Area): Sourced pristine from the impeccable cellar of Sonne Seuzach , Switzerland . In neck level and solid cork albeit fully wet.
Impressively young and would have guessed 1990 Pauillac if we did not know. Firm wine , soft austerity that draws you in and this is not a wine that advertises and screams but a wine one need to search beauty as if behind a veil. Soft dark fruit, light liquorice kiss, very little earthy touch . Impressive and an experience to say the least . 95-96

    I bought a case from Sotherby's seventeen years ago and have drank 5 so far. It is a sublime wine but is so young even with a 6-8 hour decant. It will likely outlive me despite me having 40-ish years to go :)

    Cheers,

    Mike
