Château Latour 1995 (12 BT)

Château Latour 1995

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

Excellent levels, capsules very slightly scuffed, otherwise good general appearance, Taiwan importer's back labels

A nose of rose hips and totally classy red fruit, marked deep with Latour terroir - and it does not get much better than that. Exceptional fruit, tannin and acidity balance. Archetypal First Growth Pauillac and such an individual signature on the finish. From an Imperial in 2011, lovely finesse of texture and massive red fruit. From bottle in Beijing in 2013, very scented and youthful. Serena Sutcliffe, MW 

WA 95 

帶有野玫瑰果實和上佳紅肉果子味道，與拉圖堡的地源特性互相呼應，絕對是無以尚之的體驗。了不起的水果味、丹寧和酸度平衡得宜。樸實無華的波亞克酒區（Pauillac）一等列級佳釀的風味，餘韻是多麼的獨一無二。於2011年品嚐六公升裝，充滿動人的質感及濃郁的紅果味道。2013年於北京品嚐，充滿香氣，十分年輕。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師 M.W.）
