Winemakers Notes
"...The dense, opaque garnet-colored 1982 Latour reveals slight amber at theedge. Sweet, smoky, roasted aromas in the nose combine with jammy levels ofblack currant, cherry, and prune-like fruit. It possesses extraordinaryconcentration and unctuosity, with a thick, fat texture oozing notes of cedarwood, tobacco, coffee, and over-ripe fruit. Low acidity as well as high alcohol(for Bordeaux) give the wine even more glycerin and textural chewiness. Thefinish lasts forever. The only Latour that remotely resembles the 1982 is the1961, which has a similar texture and succulence. read more...

1999 tasting - perfume of cassis, most bouquet wine I ever have. full body, chewy. length > 45 sec. definitely a wine that you will always remember.
Dark red, with an amber rim. Liqueur-like aromas of plum, roasted meat, mocha, tobacco, truffle and burnished oak. Fat, lush and smooth, with explosive fruit and powerful underlying backbone. Massive but not at all heavy. Wonderfully tactile wine, fi... Stephen Tanzers IWC. A Bordeaux Blend wine from Bordeaux in France. 1982 Latour, Chateau 750ml

Berry Bros & Rudd review: It is an amazing wine, and on several occasions, I have actually picked it as aright bank Pomerol because of the lushness and succulence of the cedary,blackberry, black currant fruit. This vintage has always tasted great, even inits youth, and revealed a precociousness that one does not associate with thisChateau.
Berry Bros & Rudd review: However, the 1982 is still evolving at a glacial pace. The concentrationremains remarkable, and the wine is a full-bodied, exuberant, rich, classicPauillac in its aromatic and flavor profiles. It's just juiced up(similar to an athlete on steroids) and is all the better for it. Thisremarkable effort will last as long as the 1982 Mouton, but it has always beenmore approachable and decadently fruity. Drink it now, in 20 years, and in 50years! Don't miss it if you are a wine lover.(Robert Parker - Wine Advocate - Jun-2009)
