Château Latour--Vintage 1983
1 dozen bottles per lot
Latour 78 Hectares: 80 Cabernet Sauvignon; 15 Merlot; 5 Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, Production: 350,000 bottles In July 1993 the French entrepreneur and businessman, Mr Franis Pinault bought Château Latour from Allied Lyons, restoring Château Latour into French hands after 30 years of British ownership.The 47 hectares which surround the Château, are called "l'Enclos" which is located near the boundary with St-Julien and Léoville Las Cases in the north and stretches to near Haut-Bages-Libral. Only the grapes from these 47 hectares make it into the Grand Vin de Château Latour. The proximity of the Gironde River which is only 300 metres away provides a slightly warmer mesoclimate than elsewhere in Pauillac and manifests itself in early flowering and ripening, and means that there is less risk of frost damage.As Stephen Brook writes in The Complete Bordeaux; "No other Médoc wine can match Latour for power, depth of flavour, and grandeur." Château Latour--Vintage 1983 Pauillac, 1er cru classé "Fairly full-bodied and full of youthful fruitNot a heavy weight but rich, fleshy and fine. Several more recent notes: deep, velvety; fragrant, cedary bouquet opening up richly. Sweeter than expected, good fruit and flavour 'the most amazingly ready and drinkable Latour.'
