說Chateau Latour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世紀末Ségur家族的經營開始，Chateau Latour就開始釀製渾厚耐久型的紅酒；歷經300多年來一直是剛猛如獅子、堅實如堡壘的左岸紅酒之最。
WA: 90 Drink: 2000-2010
Medium garnet-colored with moderate amber at the edge, the 1978 Latour offers a spicy, saddle leather, tobacco, dried herb, earthy nose with sweet fruit trying to poke through. Interestingly, new oak also makes an appearance in the flavors. Medium-bodied, elegant, and fragrant, but possibly beginning to dry out, this fully mature wine requires consumption over the next decade. Anticipated maturity: now-2010.
