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. Typically, the blend is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot.
"...Bouquet by now ripe, almost meaty, opening up beautifully in the glass. On the palate a full, rich, almost mocha-flavoured wine, with an excellent dry finish. Last tasted at the Four Seasons in Chicago, April 2000 ****(*) Lovely now but so much more to come." MB, Vintage Wine.
