The most troubling thing about this thread is the thought that you might actually think '86 Latour is ready for drinking yet.
1986 was one of my favorite vintages and was one of my first proofs that the guys at Wine Spectator have no idea what they're talking about. There were a ton of winners from that year, but I'd rate the Latour (a producer that usually excels even in mediocre years) as merely great, rather than very great. It's certainly ready to drink now, and probably has plateaued. I thought the Gruaud Larose and the Ducru Beaucaillou, two fine chateaux that aren't as highly regarded as that great Pauillac, were both better that year. Now as for the 1990 Latour..............
