Château Latour 1994
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden case. Capsule conge. Original tissues. Levels: into-neck
Tasting note: This is an interesting as well as great vintage for Latour. As indicated in my barrel tasting report, Latour's 1994 possess an atypically high percentage of Merlot (27%) in the final blend. Because of this, the wine appears to have a sweeter, more fleshy texture than is typical for a young Latour, but do not make the mistake of thinking this will be a commercially-styled, easy to drink wine. It exhibits an opaque dark ruby/purple colour, and a backward, intense textbook nose of walnut and cassis scents complemented by smoky pain grille notes that build in the glass. This full-bodied, powerful, layered Latour reveals high tannin, but no bitterness or astringency. The superb purity, fabulous precision, and remarkable length should ensure 35-40 years of longevity. Robert Parker; Bordeaux Book 3rd Edition (1998)
