Professionelle Bewertungen

Robert Parker (95)

From my cellar, the 1996 Latour is still a very youthful, tightly wound wine, unfurling in the glass with notions of blackcurrants, loamy soil, cigar wrapper and English walnuts. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's built around by ripe, increasingly melting tannins and a bright spine of acidity, concluding with a long, penetrating finish. Given this Latour's ruby-black hue and impeccable structure, it still has a long future ahead of it. Today, it really begins to expatiate after four hours in a decanter.

Winespectator (96)

abulous aromas of crushed raspberries, plums and blackberries. Mind-blowing nose. Full-bodied, with soft and silky tannins and a long caressing finish. Hard not to drink now, but leave it alone.--'95/'96 Bordeaux retrospective.

Jancis Robinson (18)

Beautifully ornate nose with equal parts stalk, leaf, herb and black fruit. Freshly balanced palate with delicacy and refreshment, and surprising elegance for Pauillac from a big vintage. Wonderful complexity on the finish, earthy and open and meaty on the length.

Rene Gabriel (20)

Rene Gabriel rates this wine 20/20 points.

BOW (9.5)

Falstaff (97)

Deep ruby-garnet in color, with violet reflections and a subtle lightening at the rim. Notes of black-berried fruit, a touch of licorice and fine oak, with delicate hints of herbs and ripe cherries. Elegant on the palate, displaying good spice and fine-grained tannins, a pleasant sweetness from the fruit extract, and a persistent, tobacco-inflected finish. Subtle red-berry nuances emerge on the aftertaste; excellent length. A Latour that is increasingly hitting its stride—though it need not be measured against the complexity of the truly great vintages. A fantastic bottle.
