是波爾多左岸的極致典範，相信沒有人會反對。葡萄園擁有全波爾多最深厚的礫石層，加上礫石層下的密實黏土，這樣極端的土壤組合造就了全波爾多最雄壯威武的紅酒。如同其酒標上的圖騰，從17家族的經營開始，Chateau Latour多年來一直是剛猛如獅子、堅實如堡壘的左岸紅酒之最。
This wine has been difficult to evaluate, as evidenced by mutiple tasting notes that varied greatly in terms of the wine's style and quality. In most examples, the 1979 Latour has been backward and astringent, with medium body and reasonably good fruit. Two examples have been quite rich, with noticeable acidity, medium body, and the classic Latour mineral, walnut, and black fruit character. As I have said before, this wine is a light-bodied version of the outstanding 1971 Latour.
