拉圖堡在五大酒莊中所需要的醇化期最長，向來以酒質緊密、集中、豐厚著稱，但經過了十至十五年的「青澀期」後，成熟後的她會散發出新鮮的核桃、皮革、黑醋栗以及土壤和礦物香，是款十足濃郁Full Body的酒款。

2000 saw a warm, dry July and August with a small amount of rain from mid-September onward. Composed of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, the 2000 Latour has a deep garnet color and is showing a good amount of evolution, sporting mature notes of fried exotic spices, hoisin, unsmoked cigars and fruitcake with hints of incense, potpourri, cast iron pan and charcuterie. Medium-bodied, soft, plush and savory in the mouth, it has a long, mineral-tinged finish. 14,000 cases were made this year, representing 48% of production.
