Offered duty-paid, but available in bond
Offered in original wooden cases or cartons
Lots 288 to 396
Château Latour--Vintage 1985
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting note: Most recently, in first-growth company at Stephen Kaplan's 1985 vintage event: bouquet by now ripe, almost meaty, opening up beautifully in the glass and after an hour, fully evolved, 'biscuity'. I do not leave the wine untouched. By the time that hour elapsed, little remains in the glass! On the palate a full, rich, almost mocha-flavoured wine, with an excellent dry finish. M.B.
