1994 Chateau Latour - Pauillac
1994 Château Latour, Pauillac, Bordeaux — Premier Grand Cru Classé
An atypically high percentage of Merlot (27%) in the final blend gives this vintage a sweeter, more fleshy texture than is typical for a young Latour. The wine opens with an opaque dark ruby/purple color and a backward, intense nose of walnut, cassis, and smoky pain grillé notes that build beautifully in the glass. Full-bodied, powerful, and layered, with firm tannins that carry no bitterness or astringency — the superb purity, fabulous precision, and remarkable length suggest exceptional longevity. Now showing beautifully with ripe fruit, truffles, and incredible concentration, this wine offers sophistication, a strong structure, and an extremely long, riveting finish. A rare opportunity to own a mature bottle from one of Bordeaux's most storied estates.
