While the Right Bank (Saint-Émilion and Pomerol) stole the headlines that year, Latour produced a wine of immense dignity and \"aristocratic\" restraint. In 1998, the blend included a higher-than-usual percentage of Merlot (23%), which has helped this wine remain surprisingly approachable and \"fleshy\" compared to more austere vintages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVintage:\u003c\/b\u003e 1998\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eRegion\/Appellation:\u003c\/b\u003e Pauillac, Médoc (Bordeaux, France)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Château Latour\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eGrape:\u003c\/b\u003e 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/b\u003e Powerful, structured, and savory; a \"masculine\" Pauillac with exceptional depth and a classic earthy\/mineral complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePerfect for:\u003c\/b\u003e A milestone celebration or a vertical tasting of First Growths.
