FROM THE CELLARS OF CHATEAU LATOUR
Described by Thomas Jefferson, following his first visit to Bordeaux in May 1787, as one of the '4 vineyards of first quality', La Tour de Segur, as it was then known has a very long and distinguished history. It's famous tower and vineyards are in full view - albeit at a distance - from the ships plying the broad Gironde and are close to the small town of Pauillac. It's recent history, but not the quality of the wine, has been a bit chequered, the de Beaumont Family selling in 1962 its majority stake, to Lord Cowdray's family and Harveys of Bristol who considerably later sold to Allied Domecq. It's current proud owner is Mr Francois Pinault who also, coincidentally, now owns Christie's. MB
Château Latour--Vintage 1990
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
The grand vin of an equally grand vintage.
First tasted in the spring of 1991 it was, unsurprisingly, a dark, mammoth tannic wine clearly with a big future. 'Magnificent' in 1993, it's nose and palate developing well in the mid 1990's though still opaque and intense. Now approaching Maturity, it has wonderful depth and resonance; a classic, cedary, Pauillac nose; some ripe sweetness, full flavoured, good length. Still tannic, better still in 10 years. M.B.
