CHATEAU LATOUR FROM THE RENOWNED 1982 VINTAGE
Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Offered duty-paid, but available in bond
Château Latour--Vintage 1982
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden cases. Excellent appearance. Levels: lots 100 and 101 into neck, lot 102 base of neck, lot 103 four into neck, seven top and one mid/upper-shoulder
Tasting note: 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.
