Château Latour--Vintage 1990
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
"Unquestionably the 1990 is the finest, most archetypical Latour since the 1982 and 1970. This monumental wine signals a return to the more forceful, opaquely colored, powerful, brute-like strength style for which Latour was famous during most of this century. The flirtation, intentional or otherwise, with a lighter style of wine is not apparent in this blockbuster. The 1990 exhibits tight but highly promising aromas of minerals, roasted nuts, and super-ripe, rich cassis fruit. It is an exceptionally powerful wine, with massive intensity, plenty of glycerin, as well as extraordinary extract and mouth-searing tannins that explode on the palate. Along with Margaux and Petrus, Latour is a strong favorite for the wine of the vintage! A triumph! Anticipated maturity: 2000-2035." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #95 (Oct 1994)
