1990 Château La Tour Haut-Brion  (Pessac-Léognan) 92 Concentrated, powerful, beefy and leaning slightly to the rustic side with its tannins, the nose is just great. It is all about the cigar box, tobacco, smoked meat, cedar and spicy side, with a jumble of red fruits. This is not a delicate wine. Instead, it is quite old-school. This is close to its peak level of maturity. Concentrated, powerful, beefy and leaning slightly to the rustic side with its tannins, the nose is just great.
