THE AMBASSADOR’S FAVORITES

hese twelve bottles are a decadent tour of Bordeaux’s

best properties in mature vintages.

Of the first growths,

1981 Margaux was given 95 points by

Wine Spectator

, and stands

the test of time for elegance and longevity. As has perhaps been

mentioned previously,

1982 Pichon Lalande is a 100-point bottle

of perfection. The 1995 La Mission Haut-Brion, Margaux,

and Latour

would make for an outstanding horizontal tasting

experience. Each of these wines is in its prime, and all scored

strongly in the 95-96 point range for Parker. Latour is a particular

favorite of Robert Parker. “A beauty, the opaque dense purple-

colored 1995 exhibits jammy cassis, vanillin, and minerals in its

fragrant but still youthful aromatics. Medium to full-bodied, with

exceptional purity, superb concentration, and a long, intense, ripe,

40-second finish, this is a magnificent example of Latour.”

Ambassador Louis Susman
