Absolutely terrific wine. Bound to uplift even the most doomy-gloomy mood. As such, it pairs well with political discourse and the prospect of "President Trump." Go ahead, drink those sorrows away. You deserve it.

Beautiful, shimmering golden color. I believe it's actually already deepening with age. (2012 vintage consumed in mid-2016)

On the nose, apricot fruit and unrefined honey dominate but is accompanied with a menagerie of rare and precious aromatics. The result is a feeling of having something truly exotic in your glass. This is a world-class wine for which there could never be any argument over its worthiness. You will be taken by this wine and there's really no way to over-hype it and set the expectation bar too high because this wine will meet it every time.

As we dig in deeper past the obvious top notes, we discover a treasure chest filled with persimmon, sandalwood, white flower, and vanilla bean.

Upon first entry in the mouth you are met with a zippy liveliness but then that melts gently across your palate to really give you a fine, pervasive coating that excites the taste buds in every corner of your mouth. This is a POWERHOUSE of assertive flavor. This wine will stage a veritable coup d'etat upon your complacent palate. There will be an ouster of your resident ennui. No incumbent sense of boredom will be safe from this wave of populist essence. There will be a complete and total transition of power in the halls of your mind's parliament leading to a peaceful but efficacious revolution. With your personal Congress in shambles, this fresh new confederacy shall draft a Constitution that will usher in a new era of utopian cooperation and transcendental civic euphoria!

Sorry, maybe for a little carried away there. For reals though. Drink this wine when you're feeling down and feel the BURN! Well, not really - because the alcohol is really well-integrated. ;) — 10 years ago

Seductive and generous yet very precisely crafted, this sexy Sangiovese based blend offers amazing depth considering its modest price tag. More elegant than usual, it marks a new era of this cuvée. Well done! — 10 years ago

My first ever Latour!!! The aromas sent me back into another lifetime- an era encapsulated within the aromas of an old world wine..complex aromas of cedar cigar box, dried cherry, tobacco, currant, parfume...the tannins were perfectly integrated, although I felt the palate was thinner than I expected and the finish was not long lingering but I figured this due to its age and it was not disappointing in any way. This is truly a magnificent wine and I feel very honored to have had this experience...100pts RP & WS — 12 years ago

Fiori di acacia, per e albicocca, pompelmo, una bellissima mandorla fresca come quella dei confetti un buon corpo per un bianco con tanta freschezza e una giusta sapidità, avrei voluto prende qualche bottiglia ma era già finito come spesso accade con le cose buone.
