A bottle of 1982 Grand Vin de Château Latour from Bordeaux's Pauillac appellation from one of the most lauded vintages of the 20th Century. This has received 100 point scores from critics Robert Parker, Neal Martin and Decanter's Jane Anson.
'The 1982 Latour was dense, ruby/purple with incredible opulence and sweetness of fruit, beautifully ripe tannin, and a long, layered finish that went well past a minute. 1982 is a legend and a more modern-day version of the 1961. 100 points' Robert Parker, Hedonist's Gazette, February 2016

The Whisky.Auction team has inspected this lot and found it to be suitable for sale. However, please note the absence of a condition statement does not imply that this lot is in perfect condition or free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of ageing. We cannot guarantee that the contents of this bottle will be free from the effects of age, cork taint, oxidation or other faults. Older bottles often contain sediment. Wines are more fragile than spirits and older wines may be listed, at our discretion, for their historical interest rather than their drinkability.
