Château Latour--Vintage 1993
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Lot 23: slightly stained labels. Lot 24: three stained labels. Both lots are offered in cartons
Tasting note: A terrific wine for the vintage, Latour's 1993 reveals an opaque purple color, a backward, cedar, black walnut, cassis, and earth-scented nose, medium to full body, gorgeously rich, concentrated fruit, moderately high tannin (but no astringency), and a sweet, long, powerful finish. The wine does not possess any of the vegetal, green pepper characteristics of the vintage, nor any hint of hollowness or harshness. This wine may prove to merit an even higher rating. Is this vintage the modern day clone of the 1967 and 1971? Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition # B1 (Jan 1998)
