1990 Chateau Latour – Monumental Pauillac First Growth
The 1990 Chateau Latour stands among the most revered expressions of this historic Pauillac estate. Situated on deep gravel soils overlooking the Gironde, Latour is known for producing wines of formidable structure and extraordinary longevity. The celebrated 1990 vintage captures the estate’s commanding presence while revealing remarkable balance and maturity.
Tasting Notes
The bouquet opens with aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, cigar box, and crushed stone. Fully mature yet vibrant, the palate reveals layers of dark fruit, graphite, and subtle spice framed by firm but integrated tannins. Fresh acidity sustains a long, refined finish that continues to unfold with depth and precision.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
Dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon with supporting Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, the blend reflects meticulous parcel selection from the estate’s prized vineyards. Traditional vinification and extended aging in new French oak barrels provide structural depth and aromatic complexity. The warm, even 1990 growing season produced fruit of exceptional ripeness and concentration.
Investment & Collectibility
The 1990 Latour is widely regarded as a benchmark vintage for collectors of mature Bordeaux. Its First Growth pedigree, proven aging trajectory, and sustained demand in the secondary market reinforce its standing as a cornerstone of fine wine investment portfolios.
Vintage Insights & Accolades
The 1990 Bordeaux vintage delivered wines of generosity and longevity. At Latour, these ideal conditions resulted in a wine of power, clarity, and enduring structure.
