Latour 2016-the rebirth of the 1961? One should be sparing with superlatives, especially because they wear out over time and become implausible. But in the case of the 2016 Château Latour, they are all appropriate. This is nothing less than the perfect wine from a very great vintage. With its intensity, elegance, aromatic complexity and tense minerality, this wine is like a tsunami at the end... it simply sweeps you away! Almost all the major judges gave it 100 (20) points. And the list is long: Decanter, Antonio Galloni, James Suckling, Vinum, René Gabriel, Jane Anson, Lisa Perotti Brown, Fallstaff and even the always very strict Neil Martin all agreed: there can only be the highest rating! The château has only released a limited quantity.
