Tuesday, February 11, 2014 - The 1990 Château Latour Grand Vin is medium (+) garnet, almost dark brick like in colour with a nose of dusty, sweet rosewood, dried prunes, dried plums, fresh rosemary and thyme. A very fresh nose and even slightly sweet.
On the palate, the wine displays a soft and balanced entry of fresh, sweet, purple thin-skinned currants. There's some amazing fruit freshness there. This progresses to sweet incense followed by refreshing herbs with slight mint. Slight pencil shavings is noticeable at the end. Tannins are rather refined and silky. Pretty dense palate with a lot of balance and elegance. A subtle and fine drive that powers the wine on a long, memorable finish. Commendable freshness, and definitely have many years ahead. 95+.
