Note di degustazione
All Merlot from an 8-hectare parcel in Pomerol, the 2021 Château Latour A Pomerol has a charming, upfront perfume of spice red and black fruits, leather, dried flowers, and spicy wood. This carries to a medium-bodied, round, mouth-filling 2021 that has velvety tannins, good overall balance, and outstanding length. It offers ample pleasure today yet will cruise in cold cellars over the coming 15 years or more. It's an outstanding Pomerol.

The 2021 Latour à Pomerol has manifested a little more refinement on the nose since I tasted it from barrel. It is not exceptionally complex, but there is definition and focus, revealing a mixture of red and black fruit with rosemary and thyme that emerge with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with silky tannins and a keen line of acidity, quite structured with admirable cohesion toward the finish. This has more finesse than expected and after its low-key entry, there is a sense of flourish on the finish.
The 2021 Latour à Pomerol offers good up-front appeal. Sweet red cherry, kirsch, cinnamon, orange peel, new leather and cedar are front and center. The 2021 is an attractive Latour à Pomerol, even if it loses some persistence on the mid-palate and finish.
The 2021 Latour à Pomerol delivers a strong showing in bottle, unwinding in the glass to reveal aromas of minty dark berries, licorice, violets and pencil shavings, followed by a medium-bodied, fleshy and suave palate with good depth at the core, lively acids and powdery tannins that have integrated well with élevage.
