Medium-full bodied with its secondary nuances of wet earth, forest floor, truffle, flowers and cocoa that ride along perfectly with all its sweet, ripe, cherry and plum notes. Soft, silky and ready for prime time, this is showing just great today. And it is only going to get better from here!

Tasted at the offices of JP Moueix. The Latour-a-Pomerol 2009 has a very intense bouquet, real “thrust” from the glass with dark cherries, graphite, dried rose petals and a touch of cassis. Very fine definition and sense of mineralite. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, very fine symmetry, dark berries, summer fruit, crushed stone with a touch of citrus peel towards the finish. Masculine, almost austere finish suggesting that this is a Pomerol to put away.

A nice old-school style with roasted mesquite tobacco leaf and espresso flavors up front following through to bittersweet ganache and mulled dark currant notes on the still-slightly taut but well-framed finish. Should flesh out a bit more with cellaring. Best from 2014 through 2030. -JM

A beautiful wine from the Moueix stable of right bank offerings the 2009 Latour a Pomerol displays a dense plum/ruby/purple color along with a bouquet of mocha roasted nuts wood smoke truffles and sweet cherries. Full-bodied round and generous with sweet tannin considerable power and no hard edges this is a surprisingly up-front precocious effort that can be drunk now or cellared for two decades.
