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.

This is the best LP I have had a long time, with black currant and flowers. Full body. It builds on the palate, with incredibly polished tannins and a long, intense finish.

This marries power and finesse, with a large core of smoldering fig and blackberry fruit, offset by black tea and aromatic spice notes. Fleshy but still stylish. A gorgeous wine. Tasted non-blind. —J.M.

Tasted at the offices of Ets J-P Moueix, the Latour-a-Pomerol ’10 has a “strict” bouquet with tightly would black fruit that demand coaxing from the glass. With several minutes aeration there are mineral tones coming through, suggestions of black truffle that will surely develop with bottle age. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins. It has good backbone, a little more precision than vintages say in the 1990s tended to exhibit. This is a very terroir-driven Latour-a-Pomerol that is not as generous as the 2009 but has superb tension on the finish. Tasted November 2012.

Tasted at JP Moueix, the Latour-a-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. Tasted April 2011.

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. Drink: 2013 - 2028

Most of the wines in the Jean-Pierre Moueix stable hit 14.5% natural alcohol in 2010, which was relatively normal for many Right Bank wines dominated by Merlot. Latour a Pomerol’s 2010 is a strong effort from this estate, which seems to be producing outstanding wines on a consistent basis, but nothing yet to remind readers of some of the most profound wines ever made in Bordeaux, the vintages of this estate from 1961, 1959, 1949, 1948 and 1947.

2010: Following a strong effort in 2009, the 2010 is one of the finest Latour a Pomerols produced in many years. Tiny yields (due to the spotty flowering of the Merlot) and small berries (a result of the drought) have produced a dense purple-colored wine with lots of licorice, camphor, black currant, earth and spice notes. The sweetness of the tannins along with the wine's density, opulence and richness make it one of the finest recent examples from this estate (which is attempting to reclaim the legendary status it enjoyed in such ancient vintages as 1947, 1950, 1959 and 1961). The 2010 should drink well for 20 or more years.

(14-14.2%) Softly sweet and mineral to smell; very nicely balanced middleweight, fairly concentrated, finely tannic and crisply defined; lovely richness of fruit, long, densely fleshy and juicy, complex too, close knit and very satisfying; matter, without excess, and plenty of scope. A very fine, long term Latour à Pomerol. 2022-35+ [M.Schuster, Bordeaux Mar/Apr 2011]
