95 points -- A brilliant offering, which should be drinkable much earlier than the blockbuster 2000, the 2001 Latour boasts an inky/ruby/purple color to the rim as well as a glorious bouquet of black currants, crushed stones, vanilla, and hints of truffles and oak... The beautiful integration of tannin, acidity, and wood is stunning... flows across the palate with fabulous texture, purity, and presence.
