CHATEAU LATOUR 1982 |

Château Latour 1982 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé3 bts - u. 2vts, 1ms, slightly scuffed labels and capsules, slightly sunken corks, 6 bts - u. 3bn, 3vts, from different importers, Taiwan importer's strips, 1 glue stained label, capsules very slightly worn, 2 slightly scuffed, very good levels, color and clarityPost-sale in New York in 2011, from double magnum, an immensely spicy, aromatic bouquet led to that thick, enveloping, total succulence of Latour 1982. So sweet and ripe. Massive, yet gentle, wine that plumbs the depths of sensory perception. In 2013, again from this lovely large format, absolutely stunning. And from bottle, just so classy and aristocratic, rich and oozing structure and tannins that are now soft without losing any of their great impact. One of the all-time greats.
