James Suckling: 97 Points
There’s a pretty massive tannin structure behind this concentrated and muscular wine, which needs a lot more time. But it’s so vibrant right now. Try to wait at least until 2020. If you can wait five years then this will surely be even more exciting.
Wine Spectator: 95 Points
Bursting with ripe, succulent cherry, licorice, smoke and spice flavors, this is marked by oak now yet has the requisite fruit underneath. Comes together on the finish, where the black cherry fruit, oak spice element and mineral notes mingle. Best from 2023 through 2043.
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
The 2016 Chambertin Grand Cru Cuvée Heritiers Latour is the most reserved of the Louis Latour reds I tasted from bottle, unfurling reluctantly in the glass to reveal notions of spicy berry fruit, peony, orange rind and savory nuances of forest floor. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a sappy core of fruit, fine but youthfully chewy tannins and a long, sapid finish. An open bottle continued to improve for over a week, making my initial rating seem conservative, so I'm convinced that patience will be rewarded.
