Score 87/100 · Robert Parker, Jan 2003

Weediness and a slight shortness in the finish are the only flaws in an otherwise relatively good effort from Latour a Pomerol. The color is a deep, dark garnet with some amber at the edge. A big, spicy, sweet nose of black fruits, tobacco, espresso, and stewed roasted vegetables is followed by a relatively fat, ripe, medium-bodied wine with low acidity and some sweet tannins in the finish. Drink it over the next 5-7 years. Last tasted. 1/02.

Very fine, this has attractive aromas of fruit and dried herbs, fine tannins and a long finish of vanilla, mineral and mint character. Drinkable now, but better in 1999. James Suckling,Wine Spectator 1997

Score 89-92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Good medium color. Very distinctive kirsch and mineral aromas, with a penetrating, iodiney quality. Sweet, concentrated fruit is nicely framed by ripe acidity. Bright and serious. Finishes with substantial but fine and nicely integrated tannins.
