What the critics say
98 WAWine Advocate, Robert Parker, 23-02-1996
Among the 1959s, Latour and two of the three Pomerols, Latour a Pomerol and L'Eglise-Clinet, stole the show. I have previously enjoyed the greatness of the 1959 Latour a Pomerol. Once again this wine exhibited huge, coffee, melted caramel, sweet jammy red and blackcurrant/cherry-scented nose and flavors. Unctuous, thick, and oh, so decadently rich, this blockbuster Pomerol is fully mature, and needs to be drunk up, an enticing proposition for the fortunate few who still possess this wine. The notes for this wine are taken from the description of Series VI - Flight A of the 1995 tasting conducted in Munich by Helga and Hardy Rodenstock. Many years after the tasting from which this note derives allegations were made concerning the authenticity of old and rare bottles of wine sold by Hardy Rodenstock to collectors around the world. The matter has been the subject of numerous articles, litigation and at least one book. Mr. Parker believes that the wines served to him at this tasting were authentic so this note and the others from that specific tasting continue to be posted on eRobertParker.com.

This was my third encounter with the 1959 Latour à Pomerol. My previous had been a decade earlier when it was deeply impressive, though it showed just a touch of VA (unlike the 1964). This example has been bottled by Laporte. There is a ton of VA on the nose but that does not matter because there is also a ton of sweet fruit complemented by peppermint, coffee and roasted chestnut scents. The palate is edgy, much more volatile than the 1961 tasted alongside but with great depth and fine balance. I notice a citrus bent to this Pomerol, almost like Japanese yuzu that lights up the fresh finish that almost compensates for the VA. Highly enjoyable. Tasted at Fuk Lam Moon in Hong Kong.
