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 January - 1998
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 Château Latour
Château Latour
Château Latour

Château Latour is one of the most iconic estates of the Pauillac appellation and a founding reference in the history of Bordeaux viticulture. Its name appears as early as the 14th century, linked to the presence of a watchtower on the Gironde estuary, whose proximity still profoundly shapes the identity of the vineyard. As early as the 18th century, the wines of Château Latour were recognised for their consistency and their capacity for ageing, establishing themselves among the greatest wines of the Médoc.

Classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé in the official 1855 classification, Château Latour holds a central place at the very top of the Bordeaux hierarchy. The estate is built on a particularly homogeneous terroir of deep gravels, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, which lends the wines a powerful structure, remarkable depth and a great consistency of expression.

The signature of Château Latour is defined by a dense tannic architecture and an exacting construction, favouring precision and longevity over immediate seduction. The estate has withdrawn from en primeur sales: it keeps its bottles at the property and releases them only at maturity. This patience is evident in its legendary years — from the 1945 vintage to the wine of 1961, from 1982 to 1990 through to 2009 — all of which illustrate the estate's ability to express with consistency the excellence of the Pauillac terroir and the singularity of its style.
