Accolades of Enduring Grandeur:
The 1992 Latour has garnered universal acclaim, captivating the hearts and palates of critics:
- Jancis Robinson MW: 17/20
- CellarTracker: 92/100
- Tom Cannavan: 92/100
- Falstaff: 91/100
- DCAMW: "Medium to deep ruby-red with dark pigmentation. Aromas are intense & chocolatey with notes of coffee, tobacco & plenty of clean, cedary oak. Initially the fruit is quite closed, the palate shows tobacco & chocolate flavors & is enlivened by fresh acidity. The structure is plush, velvety & cedary. The fruit on the mid-palate opens to show warm plum & chocolate hints, with cassis touches. Alcohol adds a little warmth to the finish which is big but well-balanced."
