Still remarkably youthful, 1990 Château Latour layers deep cassis and mulberry fruit with tobacco, cedar, leather and a subtle earthiness, all wrapped in a powerful yet polished frame. The palate is dense, long and regal, with sweet but persistent tannins that give the wine both grandeur and freshness, confirming its reputation as one of the great Left Bank wines of this celebrated vintage. This is complex, authoritative Pauillac that is thrilling today yet clearly built for many more decades of evolution.

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.
