Scarlet, with a deep dark center and clear rims. Great nose with notes of black fruit, gravel, spice, pencil lead, earth and old cedar desk wood. Mellow and silky in the mouth. High quality juice with decades of enjoyment still in front of it.

The 1982 Latour is the most consistent of the First Growths in this auspicious vintage. Tasted from both bottle and magnum in the UK in recent months, this note comes from an ex-château magnum tasted at a private dinner in Bordeaux. It exudes class and majesty on the nose with its copious but brilliantly focused black fruit laced with cedar and graphite. To use a phrase I have written before, it is blue-blooded...regal. That comes through on a palate that has a haunting symmetry and a killer finish that is brilliantly defined and audaciously long, graphite lingering on the aftertaste. Quite simply, claret does not come better than this. Tasted at a private dinner in Bordeaux. (Neal Martin, Vinous, September 2022)

sour notes. Brambles. Rich fruit. A little muted on the end.

Dark and brooding. Blackcurrant, sage, plummy and blackcurrant. Wonderfully intense and dark. Still a puppy but this is super expressive

Cedar, tobacco, leather and red fruit. Far from maturity but delicious!

This vintage never disappoints. We had the 82 next to the 98. The 82 was perfect. Everything about this wine make you scratch your head and say a few key words: Perfectly Balanced. Everything is in harmony. Wow., that was freaking good! I love 5 hour lunches!!! @Shawn R @David L . I was definitely thinking g to myself......Jeff @Jeffrey Lew may have flown up just for this!!!
