Robert Parker: Dark garnet with an amber edge, the 1959 Latour
reveals a touch of volatile acidity in the nose, along with aromas
of melted caramel, tobacco, and jammy red and black fruits. As the
wine sat in the glass, notes of minerals, coffee, spice, and
underbrush emerged. There is still copious tannin in the finish (I
am not sure it will ever be fully resolved), but this sumptuous,
complex, fragrant, super-rich Latour cuts a broad swath across the
palate. Fully mature, it is best consumed over the next decade.
