Beschreibung:

Château Latour--Vintage 1988
1 dozen bottles per lot
Château Latour--Vintage 1988 Pauillac, 1er cru classé Both lots in original wooden cases Parcel: lots 28-29 "The best showing yet for a wine from this under-rated vintage, the dark garnet-colored 1988 Latour reveals slight amber at the edge. A bouquet of melted tar, plums, black currants, cedar, and underbrush is followed by a sweet entry, with medium to full body, excellent ripeness, and mature tannin. It is a classic, elegant Latour with more meaty, vegetable-like flavors than are found in a riper year, such as 1989 and 1990. The 1988 has just begun to enter its plateau of maturity, where it should remain for 25 years. Anticipated maturity: now-2025" Robert Parker Wine Advocate #129 (Jun 2000) 1 dozen bottles per lot
