Chateau Latour 1982 Chateau Latour 1982 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe Half bottle is u. bn, pristine appearance, tissue wrapped Bottle has excellent level, very good appearance Rich, fabulous nose, so cedary. Great cedary fruit on the palate. Still almost one-dimensional. This gets sweeter and sweeter. Superb, rich wine. In 2008 from an Imperial, it was absolutely stunning, sweeping all before it - the best I have ever had. An incredible treat. In 2011, from bottle, this was just so incisive and youthful, dense and powerful. And, post-sale in New York in 2011, from double magnum, an immensely spicy, aromatic bouquet leads to that thick, enveloping, total succulence of Latour 1982. So sweet and ripe. Massive, yet gentle, wine that plumbs the depths of sensory perception. SS. Lot 484 † 1 hfbt and 1 bt (cn) per lot: GBP 1200-1400 per lot: USD 1800-2200 per lot: EUR 1400-1600 The power and glory of Latour are undisputed. The consistency of Latour, due to its fabulous gravel soil, great situation near the Gironde and a succession of inspired winemakers, is unrivalled. It is a wine that can start slowly and then takes off like a rocket. It is always profound with many layers of taste, a real reflection of the heart of Pauillac. Latour is famous for producing impressive wine in more modest vintages, but it knows how to seize great vintages and make them monuments. SS.
