Château Latour is an iconic estate in the Pauillac commune on the left bank of Bordeaux, achieving coveted ‘First Growth’ status in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification.

The estate has roots dating back to the 14th century and derives its name ‘La Tour’ from a fortress tower built during the Hundred Years’ War, which no longer exists but is prominently featured on the label in recognition of its history.

We weren’t sure what to expect, as many have predicted these 1983s are likely past their prime, but this wine was a masterpiece. 🤩

It was medium garnet in color with expressive notes of cedar box, cigar, clove, peat, leather, forest floor, fig, prune, dried black cherry, plum, cassis, blackberry compote, cardamom, cinnamon, star anise, dried violet, potpourri, kalamata olive, pencil shavings, graphite, & bacon fat.

It had the most velvety, fine-grained tannins that washed across the palate with ease, with a gentle but notable acidity that maintained lift and balance. It was concentrated, complex, and had a long, elegant finish. — 16 days ago

On the palate the wine is decadent and opulent at the same time. There’s dark chocolate, blueberry compote, sweetwood, with backbone acidity. The finish persists, and persists some more, reminiscent of raisin and dry fig. This fortified wine is from hundred percent Napa Cab, from the stellar 2008 vintage, from single vineyard site, and rated 95-99 points by renowned critics. Jayson Woodbridge made the wine in a Port style pushing the boundaries of conformity. That alone deserves praise but I can’t help considering it a cellar trophy… There to be admired and talked about but ready to deliver pure hedonism the moment it is poured.

A man’s man type of cab from Jayson Woodbridge. This is opulent, bigger than life, good aerating helps. Hear from the source that the best pairing for it is elk, can’t wait to try it. — 6 months ago
