1990 Ch. Latour, Pauillac

Ch. Latour, Pauillac
Very deep colour, deep red right to the rim, this has the typical, full-bodied Latour nose of black fruits, graphite and tobacco leaf. There is a huge presence in the mouth, resounding over the palate, growing in complexity with each new taste. Very, very long on the finish, with pronounced acidity, there is still evidence of tannins, but these are ripe, mature tannins, with no hint of astringency. Beautifully balanced, and set for at least another two or three decades of vigorous life, this may not yet be at its peak but would be delicious if given plenty of time in a decanter.

Ch. Latour, Pauillac
This is one of the more perplexing Latours to evaluate...There is plenty of sweet, ripe currant fruitiness, abundant glycerin, and full body, but I’m still waiting for that extra nuance of complexity to emerge. It’s all there, but the wine still seems to be more monolithic than one would expect in a wine approaching 19 years of age. It is not the sure-fire winner I thought it was in its youth, but then again, I don’t have any reason to doubt that more complexity will emerge.
