Note di degustazione
The 2017 Latour à Pomerol is a gorgeous wine that is at once deep and yet also super-expressive in its bouquet. Sweet tobacco, dried herbs, mint, pepper and spice give the 2017 striking aromatic presence to play off a core of ripe red cherry fruit. Medium in body yet wonderfully deep and fleshy, the 2017 has so much to offer. I like it as much from bottle as I did from barrel.

Deep garnet-purple in color and composed of 100% Merlot, the 2017 Latour à Pomerol leaps from the glass with expressive scents of baked plums, warm black cherries and boysenberries with wafts of fallen leaves, bouquet garni and fertile loam. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-coating, muscular black fruits with a firm backbone of rounded tannins and a long, minerally finish.
The 2017 Latour à Pomerol has a well defined and focused bouquet with expressive blackberry, briary, truffle and light loamy aromas that gradually unfurl in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. Yet there is good backbone here. A lightly spiced Pomerol with hints of white pepper, sage and clove, lead to a structured finish that exerts satisfying grip. This should age well in bottle and may ultimately deserve a higher score.
All Merlot from a mix of both deep gravelly and clay soils, the 2017 Chateau Latour A Pomerol sports a healthy ruby/purple color as well as classy notes of black raspberries, blueberries, camphor, Asian spice, and incense. This pure, elegant Pomerol has a medium-bodied mouthfeel, ripe tannins, considerable elegance and charm, and a great finish. Give bottles 2-3 years of bottle age and enjoy over the following 10-15 years.
