Bordeaux Blend · Pauillac
100 points from Robert Parker.
“1990 Chateau Latour Pauillac Bordeaux - Wine of theYear - 100 Pts! 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. '89/'90 Bordeaux non-blind horizontal. Best after 2008. WSThis is a beauty but not the awesome blockbuster I remembered. There is a roasted earthy hot year character with extremely low acidity fleshy seductive opulently-textured flavors and a full-bodied finish with considerable amounts of glycerin and tannin. The wine was sweet accessible and seductive on the attack but it closed down in the mouth. Interestingly when I previously tasted this wine (about six months ago) from a bottle in my cellar I found it to be impenetrable needing at least 6-10 years of further cellaring. Based on this example from the Chateau's cellar it could be drunk now. In any event it will last 25-30 years but is it the immortal classic many observers including myself thought it was?”

Latour Chateau
1990 Bordeaux Blend, PauillacChâteau Latour is one of Bordeaux's – and the world's – most famous wine producers. It is situated in the southeast corner of the Pauillac commune on the border of Saint-Julien, in the Médoc region. Rated as a First Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, it has become one of the most sought-after and expensive wine producers on the planet, and produces powerfully structured Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant wines capable of lasting many decades.
Latour's development as a single property came with the beginning of a long unbroken period of connected family ownership, based around the de Ségur name, also associated with Mouton and Calon-Ségur. This began in 1670 and lasted 290 years although, after the French Revolution, Latour was divided up and not fully reunited until 1841. The château is currently owned by Francois Pinault and is part of his Groupe Artemis.
