From the Cellar of a Devoted Collector and Physician This selection represents just a glimpse into the breadth of a longtime collector’s cellar. A passionate admirer of California wines, he acquired his Hundred Acre and Realm directly from the wineries, ensuring flawless provenance. The crown jewel—a legendary 1982 Château Latour—carries the added distinction of having been passed down from his father. Each bottle has been carefully preserved in temperature- and humidity-controlled storage, maintaining their exceptional condition.
"...The 1982 Latour has been the most opulent, flamboyant, and precocious of the northern Medocs, especially the St.-Juliens, Pauillacs, and St.-Estephes. It hasn’t changed much over the last 10-15 years, revealing sweet tannins as well as extraordinarily decadent, even extravagant levels of fruit, glycerin, and body. 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." (100 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #183, June 2009)
"The 1982 Latour has always been a quintessential Bordeaux and a quintessential Latour. This is just as composed and detailed as the finest bottles that I have encountered, bridled with captivating blackberry, graphite and cedar aromas that are brilliantly focused. Perhaps it is not quite as showy as it was a few years ago, yet it is still regal and as blue-blooded as they come. The palate is ineffably graceful and chiselled down to the finest detail." (100 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, Jul. 2018)
"1982 was a great vintage—relatively warm and prolific, producing wines of richness and depth. The 1982 Latour has a medium garnet-brick color and then pow!—it belts out powerful notes of star anise, dried roses, sandalwood and new leather with a core of kirsch, blackberry tart, dried mulberries and blackcurrant pastilles. Full-bodied, rich and spicy with bags of fruit and tons of savory fireworks, it finishes with epic persistence." (100 pts. Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate #241, Feb. 2019)
