Château Latour - Pauillac 1985

Un hiver rigoureux, avec des températures atteignant - 18°C le 16 janvier. Mais l'influence de la Gironde protège "L'Enclos" de Latour du gel, quelques vignes ont souffert sur la parcelle extérieure de "Petit Batailley".
Ensuite, les conditions climatiques sont particulièrement favorables : le débourrement est noté le 1er avril, avec ensuite un printemps doux et pluvieux sans excès. La floraison se passe dans de bonnes conditions, du 2 au 15 juin. L'été est ensoleillé, chaud et sec, excepté de grosses précipitations fin juillet. Septembre est exceptionnellement beau et favorise la maturité.
Les vendanges se déroulent du 30 septembre au 11 octobre avec de légères pluies entre le 4 et le 9. Les raisins sont dans une état sanitaire et de maturité parfaits.

Rich and ripe wine. Dark red color with an amber edge. Loads of meat, berry and tobacco character on the nose. Very rich. Full-bodied, with soft, velvety tannins and a long, ultraripe fruit finish. Still very fresh and young.--Latour vertical. Best from 2000 through 2015.

This wine was tasted from my personal collection, following the Latour tasting. The 1985 Latour is a soft, open-knit example, without much structure, delineation, and depth. The dark ruby color displays amber at the edge. The bouquet of tobacco, black fruits, herbs, earth, and new oak is pleasant, but neither intense nor persistent. The wine is medium-bodied, with sweet fruit on the attack, but it narrows out to reveal dry tannin and herbaceous notes. Anticipated maturity: now-2012.

This has always been a weak, open-knit, fruity, light-styled Latour. The wine exhibits a deep ruby color with some lightening at the edge. There is a jammy, berry fragrance intertwined with herbs and earth. In the mouth, the wine is surprisingly light, and has always been accessible. There is little grip, tannin, or extract in the finish, which quickly disappears. Anticipated maturity: Now-2008. Last tasted 1/97

Somewhat weak when considered in the context of what Latour is capable of achieving, the 1985 is medium-bodied, has a good but not dense ruby color, a moderately intense berry fragrance, fine depth and length, but is surprisingly light and accessible for the style of this estate. Anticipated maturity: Now-2008. Last tasted, 1/93

This is the best showing yet of the 1985 Latour, a wine that I have consistently rated in the mid to upper eighties. Most tastings of it have revealed a light, precocious style of Latour. At two tastings this summer, the wine was considerably richer and fuller. While surprisingly evolved and soft, it appears to possess more body and depth than I initially projected. It is an outstanding wine, with deep color, soft tannins, and plenty of the classic mineral, cassis, walnut-like fragrance that characterizes many vintages of Latour. Approachable now, the wine should reach its plateau of maturity by the mid-nineties and last through the first decade or more of the next century.
