The 2023 Latour à Pomerol is a powerful wine. Swaths of tannin make a strong opening impression. There's plenty of fruit behind all that structure, but this is a wine that could go either way during élevage. In other words, it may come together more fully, or not. 04/2024

The 2023 Latour à Pomerol was picked from September 7 to 19. It has a concentrated nose with more opulent black fruit laced than I anticipated, laced with violet and iris flower. Marine notes simmer in the background. Maybe I would have liked a little more delineation? The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy, ripe red fruit, a caressing mouthfeel, fine acidity and a dash of spice toward the finish. It's a generous and open-knit Pomerol that will give a lot of pleasure in its youth, but it leaves profundity for another vintage. 04/2024

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. 04/2024

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. 05/2024

Beau rouge sombre, intense. Nez très aromatique, fin, au fruité mûr, sentant bon les fruits noirs. Touche de goudron réglisse. Bouche absolument délicieuse, se développant délicatement charnue, suave. Le corps est tendre. Cependant il se relève dans le dernier tiers du palais grâce à de beaux arômes de fruits noirs. Ensemble subtil et surtout charmant. 100 % merlot. 04/2024

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. 04/2024
