Château Latour--Vintage 1989
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
"At the master class in New York (April 1995), it was certainly impressive and though a big wine, like Lafite, only 12.5 alcohol. Nose strongly Cabernet, mouthwatering, extensive; crisp lovely flavour with a refreshing acidity and a bitter tannic finish. At the Penning-Rowsells' in 1999, less deep, a luminous ruby; very fragrant nose; distinctive, full-flavoured, crisp, complete. An understandably slow developer though full flavoured, crisp and complete in its 10th year. Five consistent and evenly spaced notes since 2001, the last two within four months. Still deep, medium intensity, still youthful; nose low-keyed at first but opened up pleasantly, very sweet, rich, cedary; dry, crisp, high extract though modest strength (12.5 alcohol), crisp, still peppery, tannic finish. A very good mouthful needing plenty of bottle ageing. Last tasted Nov 2005 **(***) 2012 - 2030" M.B.
