2023 Chateau Latour a Pomerol
This is structured and focused, with firm tannins and a polished texture. Seamless and long with medium to full body. Deep and layered on the palate, building to a rather muscular finish. Big at the end. Almost rustic in style. 100% merlot. ~ (95) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 4-15-2024
Jean-Pierre Moueix's "fermage" of this estate began in 1962, and his eponymous firm has only just acquired ownership of the vineyards to produce the 2023 Latour à Pomerol, which gives one a sense of how long it can take to acquire land in Pomerol! Offering up aromas of minty cherries, cassis, rose petals and petroleum jelly, the wine is medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with a generous core of sun-kissed fruit, sweet, powdery tannins and a broad, penetrating finish. ~ (94) William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 4-26-2024

Plummy fruit character on the nose, and velvety depths to the colour, plenty of black fruits to sink into, and a textured Pomerol embrace. Acidities are a little fresh, but there is a sense of energy and a kick on the finish. Harvest September 7 to 19. ~ (92) Jane Anson, Jane Anson Inside Bordeaux 4-22-2024
Ripe, expressive, fruit pastille aroma and flavour. Sweet-fruited but fresh and juicy on the palate. Fine tannins provide persistence. As regular and reliable as clockwork. ~ (16.5) James Lawther, JancisRobinson.com 4-25-2024
Mulberries, black raspberries, spicy wood, ripe herbs, and camphor notes all emerge from the 2023 Château Latour A Pomerol (100% Merlot), a medium-bodied, supple, elegant, nicely textured Pomerol that has the vintage's charming, pure, graceful style. It brings solid depth and density, ripe tannins, and outstanding length. This comes from 8 hectares of vines in deep, gravelly soils over clay that were harvested between September 7 and 19. ~ (93) Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com 5-8-2024
