Château Latour--Vintage 1989
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Vintage Report: Unquestionable a great vintage and one that brought the decade to a resounding close. When youthful, the wines almost without exception were extraordinarily appealing. I personally thought we were in for another '85 but with extra dimensions; perhaps even an early developer. In fact what seems to have happened is a sort of reversal of roles, the tannin becoming more noticeable, turning the '89 into a much longer-haul vintage than I had anticipated. Nevertheless, many superlative wines.
"A marvelous mouthful despite its edgy tannic finish. Possibly 5-star if the astringency mellows." Michael Broadbent M. W., October 2001
