Château Latour--Vintage 1998
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting note: Not a blockbuster, the 1998 possesses a dark garnet/purple color in addition to a complex bouquet of underbrush, cedar, walnuts, and licorice-tinged black currants. Although medium to full-bodied and moderately tannic, it lacks the expansiveness in the mid-palate necessary to be truly great. Moreover, the tannin is slightly aggressive, although that is hardly unusual in such a young Latour. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2030. 90 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #134, April 2001
