- "A spectacular Latour...phenomenally sweet, pure aromas of cassis infused with subtle minerals. This massive offering possesses unreal levels of extract, full body, intensely ripe, but abundant tannin, and a finish that lasts for nearly a minute...99." WA 6/00.

- When the wine was drawn off, it seemed at first hard and austere in comparison with the initial opulence of the 1995's.But after the malolactic fermentation and a few months in barrel, the concentration has taken on a seductive and rich charm; the wines are at the same time silky and full of intense classy ripe fruit but also very structured and built for long term keeping. An exceptional vintage that will be very long-lived.

- A classic bordeaux from what seems to be turning out to be a stellar year. We found it complex, and full flavored.
