Note di degustazione
Tasted at the Latour-à-Pomerol vertical in London. Back in 1998, one Robert Parker wrote: "Several years in the bottle could result in an excellent, perhaps outstanding Latour-à-Pomerol." Well, he was right. The 1995 Latour-à-Pomerol has blossomed into a great wine. Initially it seems a little mundane on the nose, but do not be deceived because it unfolds and offers lovely tobacco and cedar notes that might take you to Pessac-Léognan rather than Pomerol. The palate is very well proportioned, quite structured for a 1995 with much more body and substance than its 1996 counterpart. Hints of iodine sweep across the senses towards the finish that again, dupes you into thinking it might be from Pessac-Léognan. Whatever, it is an impressive Pomerol that after two decades is delivering the goods. And you know, it might improve even further. Tasted December 2015.

Vigorous, light and lively. Punchy fruit. Unashamedly fruitburst. Brought to heel by a dry finish with sufficient acidity. (JR)
The 1995 Latour a Pomerol should develop into an outstanding wine, but it was revealing considerable grip and structure following bottling. It possesses a dark ruby/purple color, as well as a distinctive nose of smoked herbs, black fruits, iron, mulberries, and spice. The wine is generous, ripe, and mouthfilling, with medium to full body, and excellent richness and purity, but the wine's tannic clout and slight bitterness kept it from receiving an outstanding score. Several years in the bottle could result in an excellent, perhaps outstanding Latour a Pomerol. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2020. Wine Advocate.February, 1998
