CHÂTEAU LATOUR 1994

Wine 1994 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Pauillac

Tasting Notes: A good level wine with character, concentrated with powerful and flavorful tannins. The tannins are pronounced, spicy, but not aggressive.

Aging: The wine is aged in new oak barrels, renewed each year.

Maturity: Ready to drink

Food and Wine Pairing: Château Latour wines pair perfectly with beef, game and poultry in general. Also worth mentioning are dishes such as truffle omelette, Pauillac milk-fed lamb or porcini mushroom ravioli. For cheese pairings, Maroilles will match perfectly with this red wine.

This is an interesting as well as great vintage for Latour. As indicated in my barrel tasting report, Latour's 1994 possesses an atypically high percentage of Merlot (27%) in the final blend. Because of this, the wine appears to have a sweeter, more fleshy texture than is typical for a young Latour, but do not make the mistake of thinking this will be a commercially-styled, easy to drink wine. It exhibits an opaque dark rubypurple color, and a backward, intense textbook nose of walnut and cassis scents complemented by smoky pain grille notes that build in the glass. This full-bodied, powerful, layered Latour reveals high tannin, but no bitterness or astringency.

  Firm, with a sense of rusticity to the tannins, the red and black fruits have a crispness, while the nose and finish share a leafy, tapenade character. The nose is the best part of the experience. It's a nice enough wine. The wine was produced from a blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. This represents the most Merlot ever used in a vintage of Latour.

Dark and evolved color. Moderately aromatic and slightly green nose. Firm, full entry on the palate, but not airy. Rich and quite opulent mid-palate. On the finish, the wine firms up. However, its tannin does not appear grainy to me. In its firmness, it evokes sensations that I find more often on limestone than on gravel. Normal length.

 Classic Cabernet style. Intense aromas of plums and cherries, with hints of new wood. Full-bodied, with juicy and ripe tannins and a long finish. Very well-structured.

 A subtle meaty nose. Mushrooms. Palate is relatively acidic for Latour and quite forward - more than the 93. A dense savoury finish with notes of dark chocolate. Well balanced with fine complexity. Will drink sooner than the 1993.

Château Latour

Château Latour is one of the most emblematic estates in the Pauillac appellation and a founding reference in Bordeaux wine history. Its name appears as early as the 14th century, linked to the presence of a watchtower on the Gironde estuary, whose proximity still profoundly marks the identity of the vineyard. From the 18th century onwards, the wines of Château Latour were recognized for their consistency and aging ability, establishing themselves among the greatest wines of the Médoc.

Classified as Premier Grand Cru Classé in the official 1855 classification, Château Latour occupies a central position at the summit of the Bordeaux hierarchy. The estate rests on particularly homogeneous deep gravel terroir, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, which gives the wines a powerful structure, remarkable depth and great regularity of expression.

The signature of Château Latour is distinguished by a dense tannic architecture and demanding construction, favoring precision and longevity over immediate seduction. Emblematic vintages such as Château Latour 1945, Château Latour 1961, Château Latour 1990, Château Latour 1996, Château Latour 2000 or Château Latour 2009 illustrate the estate's ability to consistently express the excellence of the Pauillac terroir and the singularity of its style.
