  Bottle in perfect condition, decanted for 45 min. Despite the vintage, Latour performs very well as they normally do in lesser vintages. Still very powerful, layered, with pronounced black current fruit, tobacco, cigar box and wet forest floor. Perfectly balanced acidity backed up with velvety firm tannins.

  Weak rim, colour shows tell-tale age; rather scrawny bouquet, but interesting; palate fading, lumpen but provides some enjoyment. Lacks class or real substance. Meagre finish. (Decanted & served blind immediately). Drink up.

  Top Shoulder. Quite mature already, tobacco, leather, and dark berries on the nose. On the palate, the berries are receding and giving way to tertiary flavors, wet forest floor, mushrooms. Texture is slender and sleek, almost thin. Probably best to drink up soon.

  (SYP) Into neck. pnp. Classic aged Pauillac nose - forest floor, tobacco, spice and dark plum. Aromatic and tertiary. Medium bodied with good length and a grippy finish. 92-93

  Chateau Latour - 30 year vertical (1983-2010) tasted blind (Switzerland): What can be said about the fantastic pair 1989/90 cannot be repeated for the measly 1987/88 duo. Both wines showed a lot of greenness in the nose plus meager palates and drying finish.
