1983 Les Forts de Latour
Estimated value
Buying options
Tasting notes
Quite soft and fully mature, with a hint of the famed Latour bouquet of minerals, walnuts, and black currants, this medium-bodied, round, moderately concentrated wine should be drunk over the next 5-7 years. It makes an interesting comparison with the enormously concentrated, more backward 1982. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 7/90.

Flavors are mature and complex with elegant currant and plum notes and a hint of anise and cedar. Drink now. Wine Spectator 1990.
