93/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,The Wine Independent
Medium garnet in color, the 2013 Latour starts off with a fragrant nose of dried roses, powdered cinnamon, clove oil, and star anise, giving way to a core of warm cassis, plum preserves, and black cherry compote with a touch of cast-iron pan. The medium-bodied palate is beautifully poised and elegant, with soft acidity and plush tannins, finishing long and perfumed.

The 2013 Latour has quite an austere nose, backward and slightly surly. Light and tertiary black fruit mix with cigar humidor and autumn leaf scents. The palate is better with a gentle grip, fine acidity and decent balance. You do wish for more fruit on the finish, though there is a greater density on the finish compared with the Lafite-Rothschild. Fine.
