Depth and restraint define the 1988 Château Latour, which layers dark cassis and plum fruit with notes of dried herbs, black olive and a touch of game. The palate is firm yet elegant, its fine-grained tannins giving a strong spine and a long, serious finish that speaks more of structure and savor than opulence. This is a classic, quietly powerful Latour from a cooler, old-school Bordeaux vintage, now entering a beautifully complex, mature phase.

Château Latour is the iconic Grand Vin of the First Growth estate in Pauillac, crafted almost entirely from old Cabernet Sauvignon‑dominant vines in the famed l’Enclos parcel overlooking the Gironde. Renowned for its immense structure, longevity, and precision, it typically blends Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, expressing the powerful yet refined character of Médoc’s deep gravel terroir.
