Château Latour 1989, Pauillac 1er Grand Cru Classé (9)
Château Latour 1989
Pauillac 1er Grand Cru Classé
(2 base neck, 2 lightly bin-soiled, 4 stained, 7 scuffed and 9 wrinkled labels, 1 slightly depressed cork, 2 signs of past seepage)
9 bottles
"The 1989 Latour conveys the warmth of the growing season with scents of warm gravel and wild herbs infusing the soft, perhaps slightly muffled black fruit. There is a touch of brettanomyces here although it is less conspicuous than the 1990 Latour. The palate has thickset, quite firm tannin that lend this Latour presence and power." (92pts Neal Martin, Vinous, July 2018)
