Lot #755. BV Cabernet Sauvignon Georges de Latour Private Reserve 1980

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 94 WA.
"1980 was a longer, cooler growing season, producing wines of moderate alcohol and great freshness. Medium to deep brick colored, the 1980 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve Georges de Latour opens with provocative cherry cordial, vanilla pod and cardamom scents over a core of mincemeat pie, dried lavender, black tea and camphor plus a touch of bacon fat. Medium-bodied with just 13% alcohol, the mouth is firmly textured with ripe, grainy tannins, lively acid and layers of pure dried berries and exotic spices, finishing on a mint tea note. With the fruit and tannins still hanging in there, there’s no great rush to drink well-preserved bottles of this vintage." Wine Advocate Interim, May 2019
Provenance: The Rutherford Cellar
Notes: Very top shoulder, very lightly scuffed, very lightly bin soiled capsule, very lightly bin soiled label.
