Details
Château Latour--Vintage 1990
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting Note: Impressive purple, with olive rim developing; nose is exuberant, with chocolate, cedar-box and tar. On the palate terrific richness of velvety fruit, with wonderful length and potential - a great Latour for now - it is so fresh, ripe and appealing already - but also for many decades. At Christie's Paris, Château Latour Masterclass, December 2002 A.H.
