Château Latour--Vintage 1988
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Some slightly damp-stained labels
Tasting Note: ...the colour of cherry brandy, more intense than the '89, its nose already settling down, scented cedar and Cabernet Sauvignon. Good fruit, with flesh round its muscles. It is always interesting to see how the first growths compare in style and development 10 years after the vintage. Latour was still impressively deep and intense; nose low-keyed but harmonious; delicious flavour, full-bodied of course, with good length and a somewhat hot, crisp finish. Complete. M.B.
