92 Wine Spectator
huge, rich wine for the vintage yet very fresh and youthful. The fruit jumps out of the glass with spice, plum and cedar character. Full-bodied with masses of fruit and tannins and a long, long finish. Needs some time; better after 1997.--The Bordeaux 50. ?JS

Grosser, rustikaler Pomerol mit viel Aromatik. Dreimal verkostet. 92: Eine Doppelmagnum aus dem Keller von Hofrat Nolz, getrunken im Steireck in Wien: Er schien jünger als die zuvor verkostete Magnum und in der Struktur wesentlich gebundener. Ein mundfüllendes, rotbeeriges Erlebnis. 17/20 vorbei

A top success for the vintage, the 1983 Latour a Pomerol is among the richest, most powerfully constructed, broodingly opaque, and enormous Pomerols from the 1983 vintage. It has remained big, brawny, ripe, and muscular, although the tannins have melted away. The bouquet, filled with scents of mocha, chocolate, and plums, is a delight. Anticipated maturity: Now-2005. Last tasted, 5/91.
