1981 Chateau Latour a Pomerol, Pomerol, France

"The 1981 is a fine example of Latour a Pomerol. However, it has subsequently been eclipsed by both the 1982 and 1983 wines. Moderately dark in color for a 1981, with a dense, ripe, rich, medium-bodied texture on the palate, this well-balanced wine offers a velvety mouthful of wine." Wine Advocate
