Château Latour 1996 (12 BT)

Château Latour 1996

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

Levels into neck, 9 slightly scuffed capsules

Last tasted at a great Imperial dinner in Hong Kong in 2011. A lovely 'sweet' bouquet, almost 'floral', like the 2000. Very hedonistic. Under all the ripeness, there is terrific structure. Red fruits on the finish. Marvellous wine which wowed everyone. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

WA 95[TASTER:PARKER]...Here, it conveyed a sense of airiness on thebouquet... attractive damp earth and leather aromas... The palate ismedium-bodied with light and supple tannin, tart red berry fruit, blackpepper and plenty of tobacco indicating its Pauillac origins. This is awell balanced, correct and elegant Latour, not the powerhouse of the2000 or 2005, yet continuing to give drinking pleasure unabated aftertwo decades. WA 95 - 02/17
