The nose is noble, extremely pure and profound with subtle fruity and floral hints. The wine then displays a suave and beautifully smooth structure on the palate. It is an amazingly complex, fleshy and fruity Château Latour. The finale is rich with particularly well-rounded, elegant tannins. Decant for 2 hours.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100 Points - James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA very flamboyant and exciting Latour. Sliced black truffles, sweet leather, spices, and dark fruits on the nose. Full and powerful, with roasted fruit and leather undertones. Big and velvety, with polished, almost dusty tannins, and a super long finish. This leans more towards sexy than intellectual.

Some vines suffered from lack of moisture, but old vines and clay subsoil at Enclos saw this vineyard through. The Merlot harvest occurred between September 8 and 13, and the Cabernet Sauvignon was picked between September 22 and 30. The 2003 Latour is a blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot. Six percent of the press wine was added to the final blend. It has a medium to deep garnet-purple color, then wow—it explodes from the glass with bombastic black and blue fruits, followed up by meat, wood smoke, sandalwood and Indian spice accents with underlying floral wafts. The palate is full, rich, velvety, seductive and very long on the finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"reviewBody\" class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"reviewBody\" class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"reviewBody\" class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98 Points - \u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\" itemprop=\"author\"\u003eWine Spectator\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"reviewBody\" class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\" itemprop=\"reviewBody\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\" itemprop=\"reviewBody\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIntense aromas of blackberry, licorice, currant and mineral.
