Description
The 1989 Château Latour is a well-regarded vintage from one of Bordeaux’s most esteemed estates, located in the Pauillac appellation. Château Latour is known for producing full-bodied, long-lived wines and the 1989 is considered to be one of the finest examples from the 1980's. The 1989 vintage is notable because it was a particularly warm and dry year in Bordeaux, resulting in wines with rich fruit flavors and a high potential for aging.
Tasting Notes: Teh wine is deep garnet with some signs of aging. On teh Nose there are rich aromas of dark fruits like blackcurrants, blackberries, along with notes of tobacco, cedar, and graphite.
Palate: Full-bodied with firm tannins. Flavors of cassis, leather, and a slight spiciness are prominent. As the wine matures, it also develops more tertiary characteristics, such as earthiness and dried herbs. Finish: Long and complex, with lingering dark fruit and mineral notes.
Aging Potential: This wine was built to last for several decades. If properly stored, it can continue to develop and improve, reaching its peak even after 30+ years. Many bottles from this vintage still show excellent structure and complexity as of now.
Food Pairing: The 1989 Château Latour pairs beautifully with rich meats such as lamb, beef, or game, especially when served with roasted vegetables or mushroom-based sauces.
