CHATEAU LATOUR 1949 |

Château Latour 1949 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classéu. 1ts, 1 t/hs, 1ms, good color and clarity, 2 labels with good appearance, 1 faded, soiled, damp spotted and torn at centre and slightly nicked at corners, 2 bottles have long neck capsules with corks slightly depressed, 1 with short capsule, badly corroded on top, embossed vintage cork legibleIn 2012, a deep, mature colour. A bouquet of pure perfumed bliss, indicating the beauty and elegance of the year. The palate is pretty good too, less powerful than it was (naturally) but still classically Latour and multi-dimensional. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 983 bts (cn)Estimates are per lot
