CLASSIC BORDEAUX AND RHONE GEMS
Property of a North Eastern Gentleman
Removed from temperature and humidity controlled home storage.
Château Latour--Vintage 1990
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Levels: bottom neck or better; one slightly damp stained label
"This is a beauty, but not the awesome blockbuster I remembered. There is a roasted, earthy, hot year character with extremely low acidity, fleshy, seductive, opulently-textured flavors, and a full-bodied finish with considerable amounts of glycerin and tannin. The wine was sweet, accessible, and seductive on the attack, but it closed down in the mouth. Interestingly, when I previously tasted this wine (about six months ago) from a bottle in my cellar, I found it to be impenetrable, needing at least 6-10 years of further cellaring. Based on this example from the Chateau's cellar, it could be drunk now. In any event, it will last 25-30 years, but is it the immortal classic many observers, including myself, thought it was? Anticipated maturity: 2005-2030." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #129 (June 2000)
