Château Latour Lot n° 42

12 Btls Cht Latour OWC 1988 6 Btls high fill, 6 Btls into neck "Not as deep as expected but with a rich core "cheese rind' nose very sweaty tannins dry, rich, fruit-packed, lovely flavour but very tannic." Michael Broadbent LATOUR 1988 : A classic Pauillac year very much marked by the Cabernet Sauvignon . The Grand Vin displays concentrated aromas of coffee, liquorice and truffle, even if its color is still dark rubis. The mouth is very structured, elegant and very concentrated, with a long back-bone of tannins and a persistent finish. Yet, the tannins are still a little austere and need a few more years to smoothen up.
