Jean-Marc Quarin February - 1997
Jean-Marc Quarin
Dark red colour. Blood. Intense. Homogeneous. Slight evolution. Brilliant. Nose of medium intensity. Discreet. Fresh. Quite pure and complex. Spicy. On swirling, good intensity. Vegetal touch. Clean and lively attack in the style of the 88s, developing on a rich structure, with a creamy flavour, which evolves very slowly on good concentration and tight tannins, towards a finish with enveloped austerity, lacking a hint of maturity for its liveliness, but the persistence is long and fresh, with a return of the creamy character of Pauillacs. Can be tasted and kept.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
This wine has consistently exhibited a great deal of oak and peppery, mineral-scented black currant fruit in its blossoming nose. In the mouth, it exhibits the tannic ferocity that characterises many 1986s, but is surprisingly lighter than I would have expected. A good effort, but it could use more depth and concentration, particularly if one compares it with the 1982 or 1989.

Château Latour

Château Latour is a Bordeaux wine estate producing wines under the Pauillac appellation. First Growth in the Official Bordeaux Wine Classification created in 1855. It is undeniably a reference in the Médoc.

Created around 1680, the Château Latour vineyard is one of the oldest in the Médoc. At the heart of the estate, the main plot, called "l'Enclos", consists of 47 hectares of old vines that are preciously maintained, as they are the only ones capable of giving birth to the "Grand Vin". The 18 hectares of external plots, vine stocks less than 10 years old and potentially declassified wines produce the estate's second wine, "Les Forts de Latour". Château Latour wine is an example of consistency regardless of the vintage quality. Firm, tannic and concentrated in its youth...

Latour is the very example of excellence, in both good and bad years. Among the greatest vintages, the château's finest achievements: 1920, 1929, 1949, 1955, 1959, 1961, 1970, 1982, 1990, 2000.
