Château Latour--Vintage 1986
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Tasting Note: I expected this to be mammoth and undrinkable, but from the start (a cask sample in September 1987), though clearly a long haul wine, it had a lovely fruit and flesh. Yet, very tannic in its formative years, it was always a fascinating mouthful. Only one recent note, tasted blind, level pegging with Mouton but, surprisingly less deep, more amenable and attractive than the Lafite. Well balanced. Crisp fruit. Last tasted, just for a change, on the fifth day of Rodenstock's week-long Yquem marathon in Munich, Sept 1998 (****) 2015 - 2025 M.B.
