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。
WA: 93 Drink: 2007-2025
A terrific wine for the vintage, Latour's 1993 reveals an opaque purple color, a backward, cedar, black walnut, cassis, and earth-scented nose, medium to full body, gorgeously rich, concentrated fruit, moderately high tannin (but no astringency), and a sweet, long, powerful finish. The wine does not possess any of the vegetal, green pepper characteristics of the vintage, nor any hint of hollowness or harshness. This wine may prove to merit an even higher rating. Is this vintage the modern day clone of the 1967 and 1971? Anticipated maturity: 2007-2025. Last tasted 1/97
