Château Latour--Vintage 1982
6 bottles per lot
Château Latour--Vintage 1982 Pauillac, 1er cru classé In original wooden case, with replacement lid. Lightly bin-soiled labels. Levels base of neck Tasting note: I have a note that 17,054 cases of the grand vin and 7832 of Les Forts were produced. First tasted at the time of bottling, and predictably opaque, dumb and massive, with huge potential. At 10 years of age I described it as 'a knife and fork wine', so big and chewy. Beginning to shed some of its colour in the mid-1990s, its bouquet developed fragrantly, ripe, cedary, red current scents. Surprisingly sweet and delicious despite its tannic grip at the turn of the century. 'Old oak', chocolate and tannic in 2003. Most recently: richly coloured; very fragrant, classic, cedar bouquet; very good fruit, flavour of 'sugared almonds', tannic, impressive. Last tasted July 2005 ****(*) M.B. 6 bottles per lot
