  Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarter Wasserrand. Zarte schwarze Frucht, Nuancen von Heidelbeeren, reife Herzkirschen, schokoladiger Touch, kandierte Orangenzesten. Kraftvoll, stoffig, mineralisch, extraktsüß, präsente, tragende Tannine, salziger Touch, sehr gute Frische und Länge, langer Nachhall, gutes Reifepotenzial."

  Decanter
  Wonderfully evocative nose, rich and vibrant, floral and perfumed alongside red fruits with a tiny touch of wood spice. Rich but dark and cooling, a brooding and bewitching style with liquorice-laced fruit and firm tannins. Serious, mouth filling, concentrated and rich but well delivered. There is a clarity to the fruit but this is all muscle and sinew at the moment. Lovely but tight and tense, so focussed with a hint of crushed stone and mint on the finish. A characterful style."

  Purpur mit satter Mitte und rubinroten Reflexen. Betörendes Bouquet mit Schattenmorellen, Holundersaft und Brasiltabak, dahinter Szechuanpfeffer und Schokopastillen. Am druckvollen Gaumen mit cremiger Tetxur, fleischigem Extrakt, stützendem Tanningerüst und mächtigem Körper. Im aromatischen langanhaltenden Finale schwarze Beeren, Heidekraut und dunkles Graphit. Auf gutem Weg."

  This powerful, structured wine is packed with the ripest Merlot, with magnificent tannins and dark-plum flavors. Freshness shines through all this density, giving the wine considerable aging potential. Drink this rich wine from 2026."

  Medium/full-bodied, firm, yet elegant, this silky textured display of flowers, plums, truffles and cocoa is fresh, focused, earthy and concentrated. This will age and evolve quite well."

  Beautiful blackberry and blueberry aromas with hints of spices and wild mushrooms. Full-bodied with tight, firm and silky tannins. Try after 2024."

  All Merlot from a tiny parcel on the upper plateau, the 2018 Château Latour A Pomerol is one of the more concentrated, structured wines in the Moueix stable. It offers a powerful, medium to full-bodied, concentrated style that has some oak to integrate, terrific black and blue fruits, notes of chocolate, saddle leather, and earthy tobacco, building tannins, and a great finish. It comes together beautifully with time in the glass and is a serious, age-worthy Pomerol that will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and keep for two decades."

  The 2018 Latour a Pomerol is 100% Merlot. Deep garnet-purple in color, it opens with fragrant notes of sandalwood, lilacs, cedar chest, and vanilla pod, giving way to a fruitcake and plum preserves core. The full-bodied palate has a sturdy structure of firm, grainy tannins and just enough freshness to support the dense, muscular black fruits, finishing long and earthy."

  Wine Spectator
  Very silky and alluring in feel, with lovely blackberry and boysenberry puree flavors gliding through, laced with subtle anise and black tea. Savory hints dot the finish while the fruit and spice play out languidly. Drink now through 2032. 2,200 cases made."

  The Wine Advocate
  Made from 100% Merlot, the 2018 Latour à Pomerol has a deep garnet-purple color and a relatively understated nose of stewed plums, baked blackberries and redcurrant jelly, plus suggestions of unsmoked cigars, cloves and pencil shavings. The medium to full-bodied palate has a sturdy frame of chewy tannins and plenty of freshness supporting the earth and mineral-tinged red and black fruits, finishing long and savory."
