1976 Latour a Pomerol

In 1976, this estate managed to produce a rich, flavorful, spicy, concentrated wine while avoiding the overripe character that afflicted so many Pomerol estates. Lush, silky, creamy, fat, and fruity, this medium-bodied wine is complemented nicely by spicy oak. It has been fully mature for a decade, and there are no discernible tannins remaining. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 1/89.
