Professionelle Bewertungen

Robert Parker (89)

This wine was tasted at a vertical tasting held in Charlotte, North Carolina several days before the Christie tasting. The Latour staff spoke far more highly of the 1989 than my experience has shown. It possesses many characteristics that make great vintages of Bordeaux so alluring - softness, overripeness, and sweet fruit. The problem is that there are insufficient quantities of these components. An evolved dark ruby color reveals amber at the edge. The nose offers aromas of caramel, coffee, ripe black cherry and currant fruit, cedar, and spice box. Although medium-bodied, with low acidity, the wine lacks richness in the mid-palate, and is surprisingly abrupt in the finish. It is a very fine, delicious Latour, but it is hard to believe it will attain the weight and flavor dimensions its producers suggest.

Rich and round wine. Full-bodied, with very good fruit and long velvety tannins. Needs more time. Round and rich. This is always outstanding and underrated by many.

Jancis Robinson (17.5)

Full, round, soft. Not so dense or typically Latour as I expected. Edge of minerality.

Rene Gabriel rates this wine 18/20 points.

Remains distinctly exotic, with roasted, opulent autumnal fruits, dense and velvety tannins, blackberry, baking spice, sandalwood, crayon, smoked earth, tobacco leaf. A famously hot vintage, and interesting to see that in July they dropped 50% of the berries from the young vines toi minimise water stress. There was some bottle variation with this wine in the tasting, as is typical in older wines – but of the four vintages we were trying, it was only the 1989 that showed any signs of variation. The earliest growing season since 1893, with harvest beginning on August 31 and lasting through to September 21. A significant year in the wider sense for Latour also, as in 1989 the shares changed from Pearson as majority owners to Allied Lyons, who had been minority shareholders since the 1960s but would now become the stewards of the property, only for four years it would turn out, selling in 1993 to François Pinault. 100% new oak.
