The Château Latour 1988, a jewel of Pauillac, is sourced from the gravels of the Médoc. This wine, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon (77%), offers notes of blackcurrant, tobacco and spices, aged in barrels. Its silky, mineral palate with melted tannins can be savoured until 2035, paired with game or aged cheeses.

Tasting notes for Château Latour 1988
In the glass: A garnet red robe with tiled reflections, of a silky density, betraying its age with understated elegance.
On the nose: A generous bouquet unfolds with notes of ripe blackcurrant, cedar, blonde tobacco and undergrowth, lifted by a saline touch and a hint of graphite.
On the palate: A velvety texture, carried by a lively acidity and a chalky minerality, unfolds into a long, taut finish where gentle spices and melted tannins intertwine.
Serve at 16–18°C in a Bordeaux glass to fully appreciate its complexity.
Vintage 1988
