America s Premier Fine Wine Merchant P.O. Box 755 Bridgehampton, NY, 11932 We rarely get the opportunity to see this kind of special large format from 1982 in its original wood case. Professionally stored since release and selling for 1/2 the price of 1961 Chateau Latour double magnums. This legendary Latour is set to follow in the footsteps of the equally superb, 100-point, 1961 Latour. Only three double magnums available. Lowest Market Price in the U.S. 1982 Chateau Latour $13,450 per double magnum (3L) - individual wood case 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! Don t miss it if you are a wine lover.
