Château Latour 1996 (12 BT)

Château Latour 1996

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

Excellent levels and general appearance, importer's details on back labels in Traditional Chinese

Last tasted at a great Imperial dinner in Hong Kong in 2011. A lovely 'sweet' bouquet, almost 'floral', like the 2000. Very hedonistic. Under all the ripeness, there is terrific structure. Red fruits on the finish. Marvellous wine which wowed everyone. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

2011年於香港的晚宴品嚐六公升裝，迷人的甜美芳香，如鮮花般，感覺與2000年的佳釀相近。成熟的果味加上完美的結構，收結帶紅水果氣息，天才洋溢的佳作，令人讚嘆不已。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
