Bordeaux: Another strong candidate for Bordeaux vintage of the century, the 1953 wines are sumptuous and rich, and have always been exalted highly by critics. The 1953 vintage reached its peak in the 1970s and is now declining slowly, however the wines are still very drinkable and will last many more years. These would make a good 72 year old wine gift for a birthday or anniversary celebration this year.
Italian: The 1953 vintage was generally an excellent year for Italian wine, as it was for other regions throughout Europe.
Portugal: 1953 was not a declared year, so Ports from the year are difficult to find.

Chateau Latour, 1953
Pauillac 1er Grand Cru Classe (In Neck, Tear on label)
*90-93 points -Critics' score Aggregated*
Exciting that this was very much intact. Great color for a sixty year old. Probably at the beginning of a decline curve - but aging gracefully. Smooth and gentle, but retaining its essential body, acidity, and identity. Aromas and flavors were classic aged Pauillac. Touches of cinnamon and clove over red fruit, cigar box, leather and a plush velvet texture. Ultimately this had astonishing strength and character. More grace than power at this stage of life. This is one classy old wine!
