Description

Chateau Latour 1990
Pauillac
owc
Magnum (6)


"This is one of my favorite wines ever. Full-bodied, with layers of silky fruit and masses of currant, mineral and berry character. Amazing. It's a wine with perfect structure, perfect strength. It's 1961 Latour in modern clothes. It's hard not to drink it now.” (100 pts. James Suckling, Wine Spectator, Feb. 2005)

"Tasting the 1990 Latour is like running into a long-lost friend. Still dark, deep and spectacularly flamboyant, the 1990 possesses remarkable textural richness from the very first taste. Time in the glass brings out a whole range of pencil shaving, dark fruit, chocolate, licorice and spice flavors, but more than anything else, the 1990 is a wine of pure and total voluptuousness. While I never think of wine as a competition, the 1990 is quite a bit more complex, layered and intriguing than the 1982 served alongside it at the same charity dinner. Its longevity will ultimately be determined by the quality of the cork and storage conditions, as the wine has several decades of truly exceptional drinking still to offer. In a word: magnificent!" (98 pts. Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Nov. 2019)

"There is plenty of sweet, ripe currant fruitiness, abundant glycerin, and full body..." (95+ pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate , June 2009)
