A wine with a reserved, yet complex nose of blackberries, raspberries and flowers. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a soft, sweet fruit finish. A beautiful wine to taste. Hard not to drink this. Best I have had in years. The real thing. Better than the 1998. Best after 2010. 3,200 cases made. –JS

01: Delikates Maulbeeren- und Waldbeerenbouquet; ausladend, füllig mit zarter Schokonote unterlegt. Saftiger, stoffiger Gaumen, ein herrlich rot- und blaubeeriges Spiel, wieder mit einer erstaunlichen Dichte, sehr gut balanciert, toller Nachgeschmack. Kann noch zulegen. 17/20 2005 – 2018

An outstanding, medium to full-bodied effort, the 2000 Latour a Pomerol exhibits a plum/purple color, admirable texture, medium to full body, and notes of caramels, truffles, sweet earth, and cola interwoven with black cherry liqueur and plums. Pure, deep, and classic, with moderately high tannin in the finish, patience is essential. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2020. Wine Advocate # 146 Apr 2003
