| Chateau Latour 2002 1er Grand Cru Classe Pauillac Ref: 338 This picture is an example only. All wines clearly show the actual vintage and the correct year. Scoring 96/100 Parker points, this red wine from one of the world's greatest vineyards is "The wine of the vintage? There are only 10,000 cases of this extraordinarily rich, dense 2002 that is as powerful as the '03 (even the alcohol levels are nearly the same, 12.85%) . It is dark ruby/purple to the rim, with notes of English walnuts, crushed rocks, black currants, and forest floor, dense, full-bodied, and opulent, yet classic with spectacular aromatics, marvelous purity, and a full-bodied finish that lasts just over 50+ seconds. Huge richness and the sweetness of the tannin are somewhat deceptive as this wine seems set for a long life. Administrator Frederic Engerer seems to be more pleased with what Latour achieved in 2002 than in any other recent vintage. Hats off to him for an extraordinary accomplishment in a vintage that wouldnt have been expected to produce the raw materials to achieve something at this level of quality." Drink now - 2045. The perfect 10th Anniversary gift.
