Red Wine from Pomerol

Neal Martin's Wine Journal, 92 points: (NM90-92 points) Tasted at JP Moueix. The Latour-a-Pomerol has a more backward nose compared to its peers. Natural blackberry and raspberry fruit, wild hedgerow with subtle dried herb notes emerging with time in the...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: This steps into an elite league of Pomerol class and concentration, whilst still exuding freshness and transparency. It is a great vintage for Latour à Pomerol. Smells of pristine lightly spiced blueberries and plums and...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: Gorgeous nose with lots of dark fruit like plum and blueberries. Crushed pepper and chalk with wild strawberries and vanilla. Dense and velvety on the palate with superbly polished tannins and great depth. It's absolutely...

jamessuckling.com, 91 points: (90-91 points) A subtle and savory sample with firm tannins, a pretty core of ripe fruit and a long and caressing finish.

TheWineCellarInsider.com, 100 points: (98-100) Truffle, Cuban cigar wrapper, exotic spice, licorice and lilacs create the complex set of aromatics. Powerful yet poised, rich and fresh, dense and velvety, the finish remains with you for close to 60 seconds...

TheWineCellarInsider.com, 98 points: (96-98) Deep in color, the wine pops with the perfume of cocoa, flowers, black plums, truffle and licorice. From there you'll find depth and concentration of flavor. The fruit is dark, polished, sensuous, velvety and...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: Beautiful aromas of plums and filtered coffee follow through to a full body. Firm and silky tannins and a flavorful finish. Bright acidity and spice character. Tight and focused. Needs two or three years to open.

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 94 points: 94+ The 2014 Clinet is powerful, deep and enveloping. Black cherry, smoke, graphite, chocolate and French oak give the wine its intensity and gravitas. Hints of lavender and violet develop in the glass, adding lovely...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: Tiny yields of 25 hectoliters per hectare and a final blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc have produced an enormously concentrated black/purple-colored wine exhibiting notes of roasted meats smoked game...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: A plummy and juicy red with berry and spice undertones. Some dark tea and tobacco, too. Full body and dense and very soft tannins. Wonderfully textured. Love to drink it now but it will age beautifully.

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 95 points: The 2015 Vray Croix de Gay is just as alluring from bottle as it was from barrel. Inky, powerful and explosive, the 2015 exudes richness in all of its dimensions. Blueberry jam, crème de cassis, licorice, menthol, spice...

View From The Cellar, 96 points: The 2011 Trotanoy is one of the wines of the vintage and an absolute classic in the making. The deep, pure and utterly brilliant nose soars from the glass in a blaze of red and black plums, black cherries, woodsmoke...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 95 points: The 2015 La Fleur de Gay is dark and sumptuous in the glass. Plum, bittersweet chocolate, cloves, new leather, incense and tobacco all meld together in this unctuous, flamboyant Pomerol. The tannins need time to soften...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 100 points: Clinet has been on a hot streak lately and the 2009 appears to be the greatest wine ever made at the estate surpassing even the late Jean-Michel Arcaute's monumental 1989. A blend of 85% Merlot and tiny amounts of...
