Latour - 1998 (750ml) Size:750ml It is amazing for both

It is amazing for both its appellation and the vintage

Moderate acidity and good carbonation make the wine easy to drink

but one to hold on to for 5-6 years and drink over the following three decades

all wrapped in muscular finish that displays excellent persistence

Latour - 1998 (750ml) Size:750ml It is amazing for bothNot a blockbuster, the 1998 possesses a dark garnet purple color in addition to a complex bouquet of underbrush, cedar, walnuts, and licorice tinged black currants. Although medium to full bodied and moderately tannic, it lacks the expansiveness in the mid palate necessary to be truly great. Moreover, the tannin is slightly aggressive, although that is hardly unusual in such a young Latour. Anticipated maturity: 2009 2030. Robert Parker 90 points
