A terrific wine for the vintage Latour's 1993 reveals an opaque purple color a backward cedar black walnut cassis and earth-scented nose medium to full body gorgeously rich concentrated fruit moderately high tannin (but no astringency) and a sweet long powerful finish. The wine does not possess any of the vegetal green pepper characteristics of the vintage nor any hint of hollowness or harshness. This wine may prove to merit an even higher rating. Is this vintage the modern day clone of the 1967 and 1971? Anticipated maturity: 2007-2025. -Bordeaux Book 3rd Edition
