900pt Latour 2016: Wine of the Century?

↓ Jump to the wines

After nine years, we are now able to offer the legendary Latour 2016. With no less than nine perfect scores from practically every major critic, this is one of the greatest wines ever to hit the market. Moreover, Latour has released the wine at a fair, commendable price that given the prestige of the vintage, looks very attractive indeed. Latour famously left the En Primeur system in 2012 in favour of a mature release program. This is easily the most exciting release since then. Some of the highlights from critics:
 
"The 2016 can be uttered in the same breath as the 1900, 1924, 1959, 1961, 1982 and 2010. Magnificent"
Neal Martin
“A benchmark Latour that reminds me of the 1982 in many ways”
James Suckling
“The…palate is like an atomic bomb waiting to go off”
Lisa Perrotti-Brown
“...everything is in place for decades of pleasure”
Jane Anson
“A monumental wine from Latour”
