The bouquet of this wine is extremely enticing with plush and pure fruit aromas along with underlying minerals that weave in and out. These same components repeat on the palate with a sense of purity and length that is quite compelling and the focused flavors are elegant with just the barest sense of breadth across the palate. Meanwhile the long finish tapers gently propelled by the finest of tannins and just the right amount of acid. Beautifully poised and looking incredible at this point. Will provide excitement over the next twenty years.

Gorgeous nose with strawberries, toasted hazelnuts and milk chocolate. Black currant, sweet licorice and lots of flowers. Great fruit and full body on the palate with a structure that just keeps adding layers of fruit and minerals. Very silky tannins and wonderful intense finish. It's about great harmony in this wine. Best Latour a Pomerol in years. Drink from 2017.

Still youthfully ruby/plum-hued, the 2010 Château Latour A Pomerol has a terrific nose of darker cherry and currant fruits intermixed with new saddle leather, dried flowers, and spice-like nuances. I love its overall complexity, and it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with sweet tannins, a supple, layered mouthfeel, and a beautiful sense of minerality on the finish. As with most of the top wines of this vintage, it's just now in the early stages of its prime drinking window, with the perfect mix of complexity, fruit, and texture. Enjoy bottles over the coming two decades. Drink 2025-2045.

Dark and loamy, with fig bread and ganache out front, followed by steeped fig, pastis-soaked plum and Black Forest cake notes, all layered and backed by a long, licorice and graphite-filled finish. Offers more than enough fruit and acidity to soak up the abundant toast. For fans of the big style. Best from 2015 through 2030. 1,800 cases made. –JM

Tasted at JP Moueix the Latour-à-Pomerol is a little taciturn at first but rewards those with time to let the sample breath. Blackberry leaf wild strawberry black truffle and a touch of cedar emerge all with superb delineation and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe tensile tannins very compact at the moment but fanning out beautifully on the spicy energetic finish that is cloaked in puppy fat. Long in the mouth a little disjointed at the moment but it will coalesce during its elevage. This is a cerebral Latour-a-Pomerol that may warrant a higher mark after bottling.

Elegant loamy soil notes intermixed with sweet cherries as well as hints of underbrush, mocha and mulberry jump from the glass of this pure, medium to full-bodied, dense wine, which possesses good glycerin, flesh and richness. It should drink nicely for up to 15 years. - Robert Parker

Solidly based on its firm tannins, this is an impressive wine. Acidity and blackberry fruits are sewn together by the tannic structure. There is a touch of minerality as well, lending the wine to the promise of long-term aging.
