Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

A classic, powerful, regal Latour, the 1990 is solidly in its drink window and has a still-ruby hue as well as a gorgeous perfume of darker currants, tobacco leaf, new saddle leather, and graphite. It opens up beautifully with air and has the perfect mix of great fruit and purity with mature and complex, cedary nuances. Full-bodied on the palate, perfectly balanced, and with sweet yet still present tannins, it can safely be enjoyed any time over the coming 40-50 years.

About the Producer

About the Producer

Château Latour, Premier Cru Classé of Pauillac, is much more than a name: it is an emblem of the Médoc. Its history is written in the stones of its tower, a remnant of an era when it guided ships along the Gironde. Long owned by the de Ségur family, including the famous "Prince of Vines," the estate has traversed the centuries while maintaining its prestige. Today, under the impetus of François Pinault and his passionate teams, Château Latour continues to write the history of the great wines of Bordeaux. Its 47-hectare vineyard, located in the heart of the "Enclos," produces wines of rare depth and complexity. The powerful tannic structure, the signature of this grand cru, gives it a remarkable capacity for aging. One finds in Latour wines aromas of blackcurrant, leather, and hazelnut—testaments to a unique terroir. In addition to its illustrious Premier Grand Cru Classé, the estate also offers Les Forts de Latour, a second wine of great elegance, as well as Le Pauillac de Latour, a more accessible expression of the Latour style. The estate works notably with appellations such as Premiers Crus, which consistently extend its signature.
