A solid, firm wine with a tannin structure that is softening. Aromas of chocolate, ripe fruit and meat. Full-bodied, with loads of fruit and tannins and a long, long finish. Thick and chewy. Gorgeous.--Latour vertical. Drink now through 2010.

Tasted from my cellar, this wine is fully mature, not terribly concentrated, and slightly herbaceous, exhibiting aromas of sweaty saddle leather, melted asphalt, tobacco, and red as well as black fruits. Notions of caramel and roasted nuts also emerge. A medium-bodied effort with soft tannin, but little persistence and length, it requires consumption over the next decade.

A disappointing example of Latour, although as a wine it is certainly very good. A soupy, muddled character is atypical for Latour, even in some of the most difficult vintages. A medium garnet color with amber at the edge is followed by aromas of roasted walnuts and berry fruit, as well as a touch of tar and spice. In the mouth, this round wine is surprisingly light (actually medium-bodied), with soft tannin, and not much of a finish. Again, the 1983 Latour is not equal to the performance of its first-growth stablemates - Chateau Margaux, Lafite-Rothschild, and Mouton-Rothschild. Anticipated maturity: Now-2005. Last tasted 1/97

I have never been persuaded by this vintage of Latour, but I have always hoped that somewhere down the evolutionary path it would surprise me. At ten years of age there is nothing positive to report about this lightweight, indifferent wine. The color is a medium ruby with some amber at the edge. The nose offers up aromas of ripe curranty fruit backed up by spices and damp oak. Remarkably restrained and straightforward, lacking flavor richness and depth, this is a good wine, but in the context of Latour, it is a shallow, one-dimensional effort. Last tasted, 7/93.

I remain unpersuaded by this example of Latour. The color has taken on a surprisingly amber, rusty edge, and the nose is shockingly herbal for this property. The wine is medium to full-bodied, but the sweet mid-palate of fruit, such an important component in a great wine, is missing. The tannic finish is dry and astringent. I am not sure what to make of this wine, but it continues to evolve in an ungraceful fashion.
