Château Latour--Vintage 1981
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Very good appearance in all lots. Lot 429: two slightly corroded capsules and one magnum with signs of seepage. Levels: Three base of neck and three top-shoulder. Lots 430 to 433, Levels base of neck or better
Tasting Note: The 1981 tastes remarkably velvety and supple for such a young Latour-not that this is a malevolent occurrence because the excellence, complexity, and richness of the wine are still present. The color is dark ruby, the bouquet offers plenty of ripe cassis and spicy oak, and the flavor is generous, silky, moderately tannic, and long in the finish. Last tasted, 9/90. Robert Parker; Bordeaux Book 3rd Edition (1998).
