CHATEAU LATOUR
Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Château Latour--Vintage 1989
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden cases, lot 122 damp-affected. Lot 121 in original tissues, excellent appearance. Lot 122; all labels slightly creased, seven slightly bin-soiled, five bin-soiled. Levels all into neck
Tasting note: An understandably slow developer though full flavoured, crisp and complete in its 10th year. Five consistent and evenly spaced notes since 2001, the last two within four months. Still deep, medium intensity, still youthful; nose low-keyed at first but opened up pleasantly, very sweet, rich, cedary; dry, crisp, high extract though modest strength (12.5 alcohol), crisp, still peppery, tannic finish. A very good mouthful needing plenty of bottle ageing. Last tasted Nov 2005 **(***) 2012-2030 M.B.
