Chateau Latour 1964
A nice bottle in good condition as seen in the images, with a nice label and tight capsule. The level is Top Shoulder, which given this is a 59 year old bottle is commensurate with the bottles age.
Scoring 93/100 with an average price of £544.00 as of todays date, this must be worthy of trying
Some nice reviews online, here is one of them from 2017 describing the 1964 Latour as “having decades of life still ahead of it”

As I mentioned back in 2007, in my article on this vintage, the ’64 Latour is the finest wine made in the Médoc in this year, as the grapes were all picked before the rains arrived in October. Back in the day, this was one of the vintages of Latour that I used to drink with quite a bit of frequency, as this fact was generally not known, so the Latour was often lumped together with the other ’64 Médoc wines and not priced particularly high. Sadly, those days are now long, long gone down the road. In any event, this most recent magnum of 1964 Latour was utterly brilliant and even better than a regular-sized bottle served at the same event, offering up a lovely veneer of red fruit tones to go along with the classic smoky, black fruity Latour signature nose. The bouquet is a deep and complex blend of cherries, red and black currants, a nice touch of meatiness, walnuts, a brilliantly complex base of gravelly soil tones, incipient notes of black truffles and still a wisp of cabernet-based tobacco leaf tones in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and superbly structured, with bright acids, modest tannins, great depth at the core and a very, very long, complex finish that closes with perfect balance and plenty of old school Latour grip. A great ’64 with decades of life still ahead of it! (9/2017)
