Château Latour--Vintage 1990
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Tasting Note: Tasted also blind, at a Rodenstock dinner alongside the other first growths, its bouquet I noted as earthy and spicy, opening up beautifully. Despite its tannin it had a delicious flavour, by no means the mammoth I would have expected. Most recently, also alongside all the first growths, I noted it as having wonderful depth and resonance; a classic, cedary Pauillac nose; some ripe sweetness, full-flavoured, leathery, tannic texture, good length and dry finish. Last noted at the Penning-Rowsells', June 2000 ****(*) M.B.
