Balanced and still fresh, displaying black cherry and currant flavors in a lean, firm package. It's tightly focused and well defined, with good concentration and a clean finish; will show better in 1997.--The Bordeaux 50. 3,500 cases made. ?JS

Arrivage (16/20): Eigenwilliges Bonbonbouquet, leicht vegetal (Geraniol), konfitürig und süss, fett, schönes Terroirparfüm. Nach längerem Gaumenkontakt zunehmende Adstringenz. 92: Verschliesst sich langsam und wirkt im Moment sandig, fast rustikal, was das Extrakt anbelangt. Vielleicht wird er noch einen Punkt zulegen können. 16/20 vorbei

The 1988 Latour a Pomerol exhibits an oaky, soft, fruity, tea, and berry-scented bouquet, and rich, ripe, admirably concentrated flavors that display some sweetness and length. This is a luscious style of wine for drinking over the next 7-9 years.
Producer
Château Latour à Pomerol
Château Latour à Pomerol is another property that fits under the renowned JP Moueix family umbrella. While the ownership of the estate resides with a charitable foundation, the Fondation de Foyers de Charite de Chateauneuf de Galaure, Ets. Jean-Pierre Moueix has acted as manager of the château for over 40 years. Along with the family’s other top Bordeaux châteaux, Latour à Pomerol has become one of the leading Pomerol vineyards. The 8-hectare vineyard is made up of two parcels: the first, Les Grandes Vignes, is situated close to the church of Pomerol; the second is located on the western side of the Pomerol Plateau. The charming cru, like many Right Bank wines, remained relatively unknown until the budding wine critic, Robert Parker wrote about it in the early 1990s. Today, Château Latour à Pomerol’s wines offer a more opulent expression of the appellation, producing supple, ripe and richly plummy Merlot and Cabernet Franc blends.
