• Chateau LatourPauillac19821
  Chateau LatourPauillac19821 bottlebn nc''...the 1982 Latour has been the most opulent flamboyant and precocious of the northern Medocs especially the St.-Juliens Pauillacs and St.-Estephes. It hasn't changed much over the last 10-15 years revealing sweet tannins as well as extraordinarily decadent even extravagant levels of fruit glycerin and body... The concentration remains remarkable and the wine is a full-bodied exuberant rich classic Pauillac in its aromatic and flavor profiles. It's just juiced up (similar to an athlete on steroids) and is all the better for it. This remarkable effort will last as long as the 1982 Mouton but it has always been more approachable and decadently fruity. Drink it now in 20 years and in 50 years! Don't miss it if you are a wine lover.''(100pts RP)Gathered from the temperature-controlled storage facility of an important and longstanding collector.

• Chateau LatourPauillac19825
  Chateau LatourPauillac19825 bottles1bn 3ts 1hs 2lbsl owc''Always somewhat atypical (which I suspect will be the case with the more modern day 2003) the 1982 Latour has been the most opulent flamboyant and precocious of the northern Medocs especially the St.-Juliens Pauillacs and St.-Estephes. It hasn't changed much over the last 10-15 years revealing sweet tannins as well as extraordinarily decadent even extravagant levels of fruit glycerin and body. It is an amazing wine and on several occasions I have actually picked it as a right bank Pomerol because of the lushness and succulence of the cedary blackberry black currant fruit. This vintage has always tasted great even in its youth and revealed a precociousness that one does not associate with this Chateau. However the 1982 is still evolving at a glacial pace. The concentration remains remarkable and the wine is a full-bodied exuberant rich classic Pauillac in its aromatic and flavor profiles. It's just juiced up (similar to an athlete on steroids) and is all the better for it. This remarkable effort will last as long as the 1982 Mouton but it has always been more approachable and decadently fruity. Drink it now in 20 years and in 50 years!
