"Dark ruby black in color. Brilliant intense aromas of mineral blackberry and currant with hints of Indian spices and cigar box lead to a full-bodied palate with ultrafine tannins and a beautiful balance of blackberry raspberry and mineral. There's subtlety yet also great depth. Lasts for minutes on the palate. This is a Latour with fabulous tone and vigor. Best after 2018." 99 Points Wine Spectator
