Parker about Château Latour Grand Vin 1998
Not a blockbuster, the 1998 possesses a dark garnet/purple color in addition to a complex bouquet of underbrush, cedar, walnuts, and licorice-tinged black currants. Although medium to full-bodied and moderately tannic, it lacks the expansiveness in the mid-palate necessary to be truly great. Moreover, the tannin is slightly aggressive, although that is hardly unusual in such a young Latour. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2030.

Château Latour Grand Vin 1998
Château Latour Grand Vin 1998 is a remarkable red wine from the renowned Château Latour in the Bordeaux region of France. The winery is one of the most renowned and well-known producers of premium wines in the world.
The 1998 vintage is considered an excellent year for Bordeaux wines, and the Château Latour Grand Vin 1998 confirms this assessment. This wine consists primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, complemented by a small proportion of Merlot and Petit Verdot. The grapes were carefully harvested by hand and underwent precise vinification to express the best of the grapes and the terroir.
In the glass, the Château Latour Grand Vin 1998 displays a deep red color with garnet nuances. On the nose, it unfolds a complex bouquet with aromas of black currants, cassis, black cherries, and tobacco, accompanied by subtle notes of cedarwood, spices, and graphite.
On the palate, the wine presents itself as powerful and concentrated, with impressive structure. The silky tannins are well integrated and lend the wine a pleasant smoothness. The fruit flavors continue on the palate, accompanied by remarkable freshness and complexity. The finish is long and leaves a lasting impression of elegance and finesse.
The Château Latour Grand Vin 1998 is a wine of exceptional quality and demonstrates great aging potential. It can be enjoyed now, but a few years of bottle aging will also help further develop and refine its aromas and structure.
