  The Wine Cellar Insider
  Truffle, wet forest, plum and cocoa notes open to a wine with silky, opulent textures. The wine finishes with polished, velvety, sweet, lush fruits. This is much better than it tasted in barrel. This should age and develop well. This could be the best value in 2009 Pomerol!"

  Sattes Purpur-Granat. Ein Traumbouquet, viel blaue Frucht und schwarze Pflaumen, wunderschöne Fülle, schon fast etwas rahmig im Ansatz, darunter Terroir und Lakritze. Am Gaumen Finessen, Saft, Länge und eine berührende Eleganz. Schmeckt wie damals der 1990er und wird in 10 Jahren eine derartig grosse Freude bereiten, dass man gerne eine zweite Flasche wird trinken wollen."

  Wine Spectator
  A nice, old-school style, with roasted mesquite, tobacco leaf and espresso flavors up front, following through to bittersweet ganache and mulled dark currant notes on the still-slightly taut, but well-framed, finish. Should flesh out a bit more with cellaring. Best from 2014 through 2030. 2,200 cases made."

  A wine that is smoky and meaty, with hints of dried dark fruits. Full and juicy, with velvety tannins and a long, long finish. Loads of cocoa character. Balanced and pretty. Try it after 2018."

  The Wine Advocate
  A beautiful wine from the Moueix stable of right bank offerings, the 2009 Latour a Pomerol displays a dense plum/ruby/purple color along with a bouquet of mocha, roasted nuts, wood smoke, truffles and sweet cherries. Full-bodied, round and generous with sweet tannin, considerable power and no hard edges, this is a surprisingly up-front, precocious effort that can be drunk now or cellared for two decades."
