Chateau Latour 1994 Pauillac Bordeaux 750ml/Btl 12/case

Description

Robert Parker: This is an interesting as well as great vintage for
Latour. As indicated in my barrel tasting report, Latour's 1994
possesses an atypically high percentage of Merlot (27%) in the
final blend. Because of this, the wine appears to have a sweeter,
more fleshy texture than is typical for a young Latour, but do not
make the mistake of thinking this will be a commercially-styled,
easy to drink wine. It exhibits an opaque dark ruby/purple color,
and a backward, intense textbook nose of walnut and cassis scents
complemented by smoky pain grille notes that build in the glass.
This full-bodied, powerful, layered Latour reveals high tannin, but
no bitterness or astringency. The superb purity, fabulous
precision, and remarkable length should ensure 35-40 years of
longevity. Readers will find more fat, flesh, and glycerin than
usual for a young Latour (save for such great vintages as 1982 and
1990), but don't be deceived, this wine requires 8-10 years of
cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2035.
