Château Latour--Vintage 1986
12 bottles per lot
Château Latour--Vintage 1986 Pauillac, 1er cru classé Lot 99 one case not an original wooden case. In "HKDNP" import stamped original wooden cases "I expected this to be mammoth and undrinkable, but from the start (a cask sample in September 1987), though clearly a long haul wine, it had a lovely fruit and flesh. Yet, very tannic in its formative years, it was always a fascinating mouthful. A good note in 1998, attractive, well balanced. Most recently: very deep, intense and still youthful-looking for a 20-year old wine; crisp fruit, touch of ginger, slightly 'sweaty' tannic nose; good flavour, lively, touch of iron and a bit of a bite. Needs more time. Last tasted June 2004 *(***) 2010 and beyond" M.B. 12 bottles per lot
