Tasting notes
The 1953 Latour is drinking beautifully, wafting from the glass with rich aromas of blackcurrants, black truffles, cigar wrapper, loamy soil and sweet saddle leather. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, with a sweet core of fruit and a supple, seamless, sensual profile, it's an elegant, charming wine that continues to offer flamboyant drinking when it has been stored in optimal conditions.

Level only at upper shoulder so not a perfect bottle. The wine was rather lightweight, a little volatile, a bit dull and watery. It seemed to sweeten up in the glass but I'm sure there are better bottles of this. (JR)
