It has plenty of sweetness as well as a gorgeous, rich fruitiness, but it lacks the firmness one finds in more recent great vintages such as 1996, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2006, and 2008. There is plenty of sweet, ripe currant fruitiness, abundant glycerin, and full body, but I’m still waiting for that extra nuance of complexity to emerge. It’s all there, but the wine still seems to be more monolithic than one would expect in a wine approaching 19 years of age. It is not the sure-fire winner I thought it was in its youth, but then again, I don’t have any reason to doubt that more complexity will emerge. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2035. Release price: ($1500.00\/case). - \u003cb\u003eRobert Parker, \u003cspan\u003eJun 29, 2009\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vinous.com\/wines\/latour-latour\/1990\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e95 points Vinous\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-sm\"\u003eDrinking Window 2024\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e-\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2050\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, the 1990 Latour is a vintage that I have not drunk for five years. It is surprisingly youthful on the nose, with dense black fruit, cedar, violet petals and graphite, and it is less opulent than previous bottles. The palate is medium-bodied with beautiful poise, and the tannins are more polymerized than the magnum poured in Bordeaux in 2019, though still extremely long and composed on the finish. It is drinking perfectly now and will continue to do so for many years. - By\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNeal Martin\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eon\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eOctober 2024\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cellar.com","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":44448990920817,"sku":"136869","price":270.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/5407\/6785\/files\/0icrkjiye2xf_14d031e7-c39b-470d-ba29-447ea0d35a11.jpg?v=1788466805","url":"https:\/\/cellar-us.com\/products\/latour-1990-750ml-ropp7v","provider":"CELLAR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
