Very lingering nose - you have to dig deep still at age 75, but there is oil at the end of this well! Crushed red fruits with a hint of olives and a pinch of wintry, minty spice very long and silky nice nut, cedar, red and brown fruit flavors good grip - true grit gorgeous, polished, and refined - a distinguished gentleman of a wine that makes the others in its companies seem lower class the wine sneaks up on you in that uniquley brooding, Latour way and grows and grows in the glass - c'est magnifique!"(98+pts JK) Provenance: The Swiss Doctor Makes Another House Call: We welcome back one of the best cellars we know in Switzerland, with lots from this good doctor’s temperature-controlled cellar in Geneva. Introduced to the great wines of France by his father, he has spent decades building his collection. Highlights include a 1961 Pétrus and a magnum of 1964, 1928 Latour, and a Montrose duo from 1947 and 1959. Domaine Leroy is the star of Burgundy, with ten lots led by 1993 Musigny, while Italy offers 1955 Giacomo Conterno Monfortino and Vega Sicilia Único comes from 1962 and 1965. Swiss rarities from Gantenbein round out this remarkable house call. All wines removed from his temperature-controlled home cellar in Geneva.
