Dark garnet with an amber edge, the 1959 Latour reveals a touch of volatile acidity in the nose, along with aromas of melted caramel, tobacco, and jammy red and black fruits. As the wine sat in the glass, notes of minerals, coffee, spice, and underbrush emerged. Lafite is a tenor; Latour a bass. Lafite is a lyric; Latour an epic. Lafite is adance; Latour a parade. － Hugh Johnson

Château Latour 在五大酒庄里有着较为雄厚的酒风，坚实的酒体结构展现了如高塔般霸气的格局，往往需要数十年的时间去柔化其丰厚的单宁、使其饱满的酒体能完整展现酒款的活力与复杂的变化。阳刚的特质让英国酒评家Hugh Johnson 曾形容：若Lafite 是首抒情诗，Latour 便是气势磅礡的史诗；若Lafite 是场轻快的舞曲，Latour 便是场热闹盛大的游行。Château Latour 一直是五大酒庄中最勇于革新的酒庄，不仅领先在1960 年代开始引进可控制温度与发酵进度的不锈钢槽，更从2012 年开始正式退出波尔多预购，坚持在酒款最适饮的年份才对外贩卖。
