Château Latour, Premier Grand Cru Classé, Pauillac. 92.9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7.1% Merlot. If Lafite is renowned for elegance, Latour is prized for power. Vines were first planted on the site in the fourteenth century, but Latour's reputation stems from the late part of the seventeenth century, when the estate was inherited by Alexandre de Ségur. In recent years, no finer wine has been made in Bordeaux, for Latour displays an uncanny combination of deep color; Cabernet-dominated flavors of dark berries, licorice, and minerals; the finest oak that money can buy; and great length on the aftertaste. 100 points TWI / Lisa Perotti Brown. 100 points Antonio Galloni. 100 points James Suckling. 100 points Falstaff. 100 points Neal Martin. 100 poinst Jane Anson. 100 points Decanter. 100 points Tim Atkin.
