2011 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...

Wine Spectator, 90 points: (87-90) Rather graceful, with bing cherry and sandalwood notes and a lightly firm dash of toasted vanilla on the finish. This opens steadily with air, showing more toasted spice and black tea. Not big, but has a suave...
