Brombeerenkonfitüre, üppige Rubens-Nase, überreife Frucht. Sehr saftig, reiches Fruchtkonzentrat, Massen von sehr reifem Tannin, männlich, enorm konzentriert, ein Knaller, grosses Zukunftspotential. 97: Saftiger Gaumen, gut unterstützt von Frucht, weiches Extrakt, viel Charme und intensives Rückaroma mit Amarenakirschen. 17/20 1997 – 2010

Very fine, this has attractive aromas of fruit and dried herbs, fine tannins and a long finish of vanilla, mineral and mint character. Drinkable now, but better in 1999.

Weediness and a slight shortness in the finish are the only flaws in an otherwise relatively good effort from Latour a Pomerol. The color is a deep, dark garnet with some amber at the edge. A big, spicy, sweet nose of black fruits, tobacco, espresso, and stewed roasted vegetables is followed by a relatively fat, ripe, medium-bodied wine with low acidity and some sweet tannins in the finish. Drink it over the next 5-7 years. Last tasted. 1/02
