1961
A great vintage often compared to the 1945 for the two have several things in common. First of all, nature did the pruning: frosts severely reduced the potential crop in 1945 and heavy rains washed away the pollen in 1961.....a very sunny September, which resulted in a harvest of small, thick skinned, well nourished grapes in turn producing deeply coloured, ripe but concentrated and tannic wines.

Château Latour--Vintage 1961
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Of the eight recent notes, its depth of colour is the first thing one notices, and its nose, rather like Lafite's is a bit slow to open up, Suprisingly sweet too yet a very tannic finish (at Aschau in 1994)... At the La Réserve tasting, despite its extraordinary sweet, nose-filling bouquet, a mammoth wine, all the component parts excessively represented. Most recently, a superb bottle at Josh Latner's dinner. Last tasted Jan 2000 ****(**) Another half century of life. MB, Vintage Wine
