Note di degustazione
Latour's second wine contains more Cabernet Sauvignon (70%) than the grand vin. The 1994 is a very impressive second wine with a dense purple color, a rich, moderately intense nose of sweet cassis, minerals, and vanilla, medium to full body, and a moderately tannic, long finish. It requires 5-7 years of cellaring and should last for 15+ years. All of the wines in this segment were tasted between March 19 and March 28 in Bordeaux. Most of the important wines from both the 1994 and 1995 vintages were tasted three separate times during my ten-day stay in Bordeaux. (No tasting note was provided in Issue 109. We have instead included the text of the tasting note from Issue 104)

Plentiful plum and strawberry aromas and flavors mark this medium-bodied wine. Short on the finish. James Suckling,Wine Spectator 1997.

Good medium color, with a slightly pale rim. Subdued blackcurrant, spice and cedar nose. Rather musclebound in the mouth and revealing little today, but fresh for the vintage. Finishes with ripe tannins and good length. Rather gently styled for this wine. This wine includes fruit from Latour's young vines, and, in '92 and '94, wine that was not considered strong enough to be bottled as Latour.
