Original capsules cut to reveal branded originalcork. One slightly damaged capsule.98/100 points Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate #95, October 1994Lying in a private cellar duty free in Bordeaux, France12 bottles in original condition in original wooden casewith straw sleeves.Tasting Note: “Dark garnet with an amber edge, the1959 Latour reveals a touch of volatile acidity in the nose,along with aromas of melted caramel, tobacco, andjammy 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 itwill ever be fully resolved), but this sumptuous, complex,fragrant, super-rich Latour cuts a broad swath across thepalate. Fully mature, it is best consumed over the nextdecade.”HK$360,000-410,000——————————21
