Chateau Latour-Pauillac 1991 4df5d4d9d819b397555d03cedf085f48

A budburst noted on March 25, followed by a very mild start to spring led to rapid development of buds. 4df5d4d9d819b397555d03cedf085f48 But on the night of April 20 to 21, a terrible black frost fell on the entire Bordeaux vineyard: There were nearly 20% losses in "L'Enclos", and more than 80% of buds destroyed on the outer plots. 4df5d4d9d819b397555d03cedf085f48 Subsequently, the gloomy climatic conditions did not help the vegetation to restart quickly, and flowering lasted from June 1 to 20. 4df5d4d9d819b397555d03cedf085f48 Fortunately, summer is excellent, and from July 22 to August 14, the "green harvest" is used to eliminate late or milleranded bunches. 4df5d4d9d819b397555d03cedf085f48 The harvest started on September 24, interrupted by a rainy period from September 29 to 29. It ended on October 10, before the rains returned. 4df5d4d9d819b397555d03cedf085f48 This vintage at Château Latour was indisputably saved by its exceptional terroir and in particular the proximity of the Gironde, which limited the effects of frost. 4df5d4d9d819b397555d03cedf085f48 The harvest is healthy and ripe. 4df5d4d9d819b397555d03cedf085f48

Wine Spectator

91 / 100

byJames Sucklingthe8/31/2000

Dark ruby color. Decadent aromas of meat, figs and ripe fruit. Full-bodied, with a very good, compacted, fruity structure and a long, long, ripe fruit and earth finish. This is a seriously good bottle. Great value. Love it.--Latour vertical. Best after 2005.

Wine Advocate

89 / 100

byRobert Parkerthe2/1/1994

After Latour's exquisite performance in 1990, the 1991 is somewhat of a let-down. Nevertheless, it is a candidate for the wine of the vintage because of its concentration and class. After a strict selection, only 11,500 cases were made. The wine offers a dense, dark ruby color, and a reticent but promising bouquet of black-cherries, cassis, minerals, roasted nuts, spices, and subtle herbs. Medium-bodied, with excellent richness, fine glycerin, and aggressive tannin, this ripe, muscular, beefy 1991 needs 5-6 years to shed its tannin; it should last for 15 or more.
