Description
Chateau Latour 1998Pauillac
2lscl, 1sdc
Bottle (2)
"The 1998 Latour was in fact the first vintage I ever tasted en primeur at the chateau. It was an early vintage after budburst on 20 March and the picking began on 20 September until 5 October, the Grand Vin a blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot (compared to around 9% these days), 4% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot. It has an open-knit bouquet with notes of black fruit, iron, undergrowth and autumn leaves. You cannot help noticing its rusticity compared to present-day Latour. The palate is medium-bodied, well balanced, a tang of soy marking the entry, brambly red berry fruit and an almost Graves-like, tertiary, slightly short finish. It is a mid-weight Latour, one that I cannot envisage improving further but it will cruise at this level for the next decade." (92 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, Feb. 2018)
"...the 1998 possesses a dark garnet/purple color in addition to a complex bouquet of underbrush, cedar, walnuts, and licorice-tinged black currants." (90 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, April 2001)
“Dark, youthful crimson. Gorgeous combination of fruit and structure. Cool and smart and not a shouty wine. Pure.” (18.5 pts. Jancis Robinson, Dec. 2018)
