Wine Journal
Jul 2007 Neal Martin 90 Drink 2007 - 2015
Conspicuously mature, even for a 1989 Left Bank with a distinct tawny rim. A rather loose-knit, mature nose with dark chocolate. Capsicum, liquorices and burnt toast. Lacking some lift and vigor (although less prune-scented than previous bottles.) The palate is medium-bodied, very savory as if there is a high percentage of Cabernet Franc. Dried blood. Moderate length, this is just lacking breeding and length and on this showing I would certainly drink this over the next 5-8 years. Tasted December 2006.

Frederick Engerer remarked that the 1989 Latour was subject to some hydric stress caused by the high sun and temperature levels. The appearance is quite garnet colour with a tawny edge. The nose blossoms in the glass: spice and dark chocolate. Lacks some finesse and class. The palate is quite tannic, perhaps beginning to close up a little. Slightly bitter tannins but there is loads of complex savory fruit, leather and figs. A long sweet finish. Not quite as harmonious as the superior Mouton-Rothschild. Then in September 2004 at the Farr 89 vs. 90 tasting. As Latour goes I find this underwhelming and completely outclassed by the 1990. An open-knit, slightly stewed nose. Prune and raisin. Soft entry on the palate, the wine is not as structured as Lafite or Mouton. Sweet red fruits: this is just too open for me. Cranberry and dried blood on the finish. Very fruit-driven for Latour: this is too eager to please.
