Wine Advocate: 96 Points
"A beauty the opaque dense purple-colored 1995 exhibits jammy cassis vanillin and minerals in its fragrant but still youthful aromatics. Medium to full-bodied with exceptional purity superb concentration and a long intense ripe 40-second finish this is a magnificent example of Latour. As the wine sat in the glass scents of roasted espresso and toasty new oak emerged."
Wine Spectator: 94 Points
Black licorice cedar cigar box and fresh herbs. Full-bodied and very structured with firm silky tannins and a long finish. Needs time.--'95/'96 Bordeaux retrospective.
Vinous: 93-96 Points
Very dark saturated ruby color. Pungent chocolatey nose hiding the new oak. Very intensely flavored fruit has an urgency rare for the vintage and overshadows the tongue-coating tannins today. Exotic hints of licorice and orange peel on the powerful aftertaste conveys a powerful sense of terroir. A powerfully extracted yet round wine that gives no impression of heaviness.
