Chateau Latour 1982 Chateau Latour 1982 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe Lot 5070: u. 6bn, 6 slightly scuffed labels Lot 5071: u. 1bn, 2vts, 2ts, 7 levels into neck, 5 scuffed labels, 2 stained labels Lot 5072: u. 3bn, 3vts, 6 levels into neck, 5 slightly scuffed labels, otherwise excellent appearance Lot 5073: u. 5bn, 1ts, wine comes from different importers, 7 slightly scuffed labels, 3 damp stained labels, 1 nicked label, 1 nicked capsule Lot 5074: u. 3bn, 3vts, 1ts, 5 levels into neck, wine comes from different importers, 1 nicked and 3 slightly soiled labels, 2 scuffed and 1 torn capsules, excellent color and clarity Lot 5075: 3 scuffed and 1 nicked capsules, 2 scuffed and 1 slightly stained labels, 4 different style labels, 2 bottles come from a different importer, 3 original tissues, 3 magnums with excellent appearance, all with excellent color and clarity Lot 5076: Soiled label, torn capsule, corroded and slightly sunken cork, excellent color and clarity Lot 5077: Wine comes from 2 different importers, excellent appearance Lot 5078: u. 1bn, wine comes from 2 different importers, slightly scuffed labels, 1 stained label, 1 torn label, 1 nicked label, 1 slightly corroded capsule Rich, fabulous nose, so cedary. Great cedary fruit on the palate. Still almost one-dimensional. This gets sweeter and sweeter. Superb, rich wine. In 2008 from an Imperial, it was absolutely stunning, sweeping all before it - the best I have ever had. An incredible treat. In 2011, from bottle, this was just so incisive and youthful, dense and powerful. And, post-sale in New York in 2011, from double magnum, an immensely spicy, aromatic bouquet leads to that thick, enveloping, total succulence of Latour 1982. So sweet and ripe. Massive, yet gentle, wine that plumbs the depths of sensory perception. SS. See illustration Lot 5070 12 bts (sc) Lot 5071 12 bts (sc) Lot 5072 12 bts (sc) Lot 5073 12 bts (cn) Lot 5074 12 bts (cn) per lot: HKD 160000-240000 per lot: USD 20000-30000 The power and glory of Latour are undisputed. The consistency of Latour, due to its fabulous gravel soil, great situation near the Gironde and a succession of inspired winemakers, is unrivaled. It is a wine that can start slowly and then takes off like a rocket. It is always profound with many layers of taste, a real reflection of the heart of Pauillac. Latour is famous for producing impressive wine in more modest vintages, but it knows how to seize great vintages and make them monuments. SS. Quantity: 1
