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 在五大酒莊裡有著較為雄厚的酒風，堅實的酒體結構展現了如高塔般霸氣的格局，往往需要數十年的時間去柔化其豐厚的單寧、使其飽滿的酒體能完整展現酒款的活力與複雜的變化。陽剛的特質讓英國酒評家Hugh Johnson 曾形容：若Lafite 是首抒情詩，Latour 便是氣勢磅礡的史詩；若Lafite 是場輕快的舞曲，Latour 便是場熱鬧盛大的遊行。Château Latour 一直是五大酒莊中最勇於革新的酒莊，不僅領先在1960 年代開始引進可控制溫度與發酵進度的不鏽鋼槽，更從2012 年開始正式退出波爾多預購，堅持在酒款最適飲的年份才對外販售。
