Latour 1982 is a towering, old-school Pauillac that saturates the palate with blackcurrant and dark cherry layered over tobacco, warm earth and a touch of walnut richness. The texture is powerful yet caressingly velvety, its immense concentration carried by sweet, fine-grained tannin into a soaring, aristocratic finish that seems to go on indefinitely. This is benchmark Bordeaux grandeur in full voice, with decades of life still ahead for well-stored bottles.

Château Latour is the iconic Grand Vin of the First Growth estate in Pauillac, crafted almost entirely from old Cabernet Sauvignon‑dominant vines in the famed l’Enclos parcel overlooking the Gironde. Renowned for its immense structure, longevity, and precision, it typically blends Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, expressing the powerful yet refined character of Médoc’s deep gravel terroir.
