Château Latour--Vintage 1982
1 dozen bottles per lot
NINETEEN EIGHTY TWO CHATEAU LATOUR Château Latour--Vintage 1982 Pauillac, 1er cru classé Both lots in original wooden cases Lot 241 levels: six into neck, six base of neck; Lot 242 levels: five into neck, seven base of neck Parcel: lots 241-242 "As I indicated in the review of the 1982 Bordeaux, this is an unusual Latour in the fact that it has always been precocious. It has been jammy, forward, and delicious no matter when the cork was pulled, in total contrast to its two first-growth siblings, Mouton Rothschild and Lafite-Rothschild. The dense, opaque garnet-colored 1982 Latour reveals slight amber at the edge. Sweet, smoky, roasted aromas in the nose combine with jammy levels of black currant, cherry, and prune-like fruit. It possesses extraordinary concentration and unctuosity, with a thick, fat texture oozing notes of cedar wood, tobacco, coffee, and over-ripe fruit. Low acidity as well as high alcohol (for Bordeaux) give the wine even more glycerin and textural chewiness. The finish lasts forever. The only Latour that remotely resembles the 1982 is the 1961, which has a similar texture and succulence. Anticipated maturity: now-2040."
