Louis Latour, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, Burgundy, 1989

Drinking Window: 2021 – 2025
Unbelievable! At 31 years of age, the 1989 retains a bright golden colour without an orange tinge. Displaying a subtle array of apricot-like notes, toasty nuttiness and delicate spice, it enlivens the palate with its amazing freshness. Each sip brings new flavours. Powerful and penetrating, this wine has both elegance and energy. You’d never guess its age. Paradoxically, it is both broad and precise simultaneously. Just gorgeous, even the scent from the empty glass is heavenly. It remains on a plateau with no signs of descending, at least judging from this bottle.
