95+ points - Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, February 2022 From my cellar, the 1996 Latour is still a very youthful, tightly wound wine, unfurling in the glass with notions of black currants, 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. Show more
