My 2nd favorite 20 yr behind Grahams. Ramos Pinto is good as well, but seems to have to bottle to bottle variability issues…. Taylor is a great standby at a good price. — 4 years ago
17.5/20 (94/100) Насыщенный и элегантный аромат спелых ягод чёрной смородины и черники, вишневого сиропа, ванили и шоколада. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и интенсивными, замшевыми по текстуре танинами. Вино заметно прибавило в качестве за последние пару лет. Всё-ещё молодо. #dfwe2018 — 7 years ago
As you would expect from Manfred. After a while you just run out of superlatives and just sit there with a Syrah stained smile on your face. Rich dark fruit with beef blood smell (that term doesn’t do justice to how interesting and delicious the combination really is). Tremendous finish, dark color to the edge. Just a great wine experience. My only bottle. I have no clue how long this wine could go before peaking. — 8 years ago
(19/20) Гранатовый цвет. Насыщенный, интенсивный букет ароматов чёрной смородины, вишни, сухой листвы, черного перца, ванили, мокрого песка. Умеренная кислотность, интенсивные бархатистые танины. Концентрированный вкус вишни, ежевики и чёрной смородины. Продолжительное послевкусие. Великолепное, невероятно красивое вино. — 9 years ago

Excellent bottle of wine for the price. Favorite one out there under 20$ — 13 years ago
Medium deep ruby core , medium wide ruby garnet rim . Quite slow and fat tears. Quite exotic nose , slightly high toned, lots of ripe spicy blackcurrant , dark cherry , blackberry and underneath a grafite and earthy note , marine scents also . On the palate round, ripe and sweet dark fruits, blackcurrant , blackberry and dark cherry , touches of grafite and cigar box. Surprisingly good , even refreshing acidity , ripe ample tannins; there is great intensity here. Balanced alcohol even though it is quite decadent and rich, lots of glycerin . Very long and succulent but balanced finish with touches of mineral and tobacco. The plumpness and exoticism does come across as pretty atypical for Latour , though it is a real success for the vintage and an undeniably enjoyable wine. Drinking ok now , with a decant of an hour or two but really did improve over the 5 hours we had it open. Will obviously last and improve over the next 20 years and I’m sure go further still . — 3 years ago

Bottled in ‘96 and the cork was toast by the time we opened it up. Closed at first but opened up after about half an hour. Nice tawny flavors, maple syrup and carmel. Extended and lively finish. — 4 years ago

Pristine cork, decanted for 5 hours: still balanced, complex, and harmonious as a 20 year old in a challenging vintage. Fruit still lively, with mellow tannins—this still has a few years left. Came out best for me in an evening of great old wines: ‘98 Corison, ‘98 Montelena Estate, plus de la Tour ‘99. Never underestimate the consistency of a great estate, year after year. Glad I have another bottle or two. — 7 years ago
Tasted 1/20/2017 At UGCB 2014 Vintage tasting in Miami. At the Biltmore.
Mixed black and red fruits on the nose, with a firm palate of cassis, earth, and and some wood. Nose a little more subdued, and lacking some of the richness of the Beychevelle at this stage, but this seems built to age and will likeley develop with time.

Supwr smooth, one of the best I have had — 10 years ago
17.5/20 (94/100)
Сладко-цветочный, яркий, молодой. Ягодный леденец, малина, спелая клубника, смородина, яркий ягодный аромат, немного шоколада, какао, болгарский перец на гриле. Ярко, взрывно но не тяжело и очень свежее. Большой потенциал.

I'm not usually a huge fan of Port, but give me this after a nice meal. Significantly different than the 10 year. Caramel. Smokey. Honey Nut Cheerios. — 2 years ago
