Château Latour 1988
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden case. Original tissues. One with signs of old seepage. Levels: eleven into neck, one base of neck
Tasting note: The best showing yet for a wine from this under-rated vintage, the dark garnet-coloured 1988 Latour reveals slight amber at the edge. A bouquet of melted tar, plums, blackcurrants, cedar, and underbrush is followed by a sweet entry, with medium to full body, excellent ripeness, and mature tannin. It is a classic, elegant Latour with more meaty, vegetable-like flavors than are found in a riper year, such as 1989 and 1990. The 1988 has just begun to enter its plateau of maturity, where it should remain for 25 years. Anticipated maturity: now-2025. Robert Parker; Wine Advocate 129, June 2000
