Even in a difficult year of devastating frost, this is a beauty. There is a silky, plush, velvety quality to the fruit, paired with purity and sweetness that stands out. You should give this 3-5 years or more in the cellar and the wine should hit the top of my range. 4,786 Views Tasted Apr 26, 2018 |

Subtle chocolate, truffle, violets and plum fragrances open to a soft, polished wine that finishes with mocha, chocolate black cherry and cassis.

Château Latour à (Pomerol)
The cork pulled out so cleanly, I was positive the bottle was going to be good. But, this bottle was even better than expected! Truffles, chocolate, dried roses, tobacco, and black cherries popped in the nose. But, the showstopper here is the silky, sensuous textures that made the perfect backdrop for the earthy, black cherries, cocoa, Indian spice, peppercorns, and touch of leafy herbs in the finish. I hope I have another bottle, but, I’m afraid this was the final bottle from the case. It was perfect for Valentine’s Day. Do not decant. Pop, and pour. Drink from 2024-2030. 731 Views Tasted Feb 14, 2024Much better than the previous bottle. Popped and poured with no decanting was just perfect for this wine and bottle.

The nose, with its truffle, cherry, plum and tobacco showed nicely. The texture was soft and silky, but the finish much shorter than previous bottles. This is probably just past its peak and requires drinking. 3,370 Views Tasted Mar 6, 2017When did this wine become so expensive? I remember buying this just a few years ago for a song.
