Tasting notes
Licorice, Chinese black tea, dried herbs, and some plum and fig-like fruit as well as freshly ground pepper emerge from the complex aromatics of the dark garnet-colored 1988 Latour a Pomerol. In the mouth the wine shows good concentration, some sweetness, but a somewhat chunky, monolithic style with scratchy tannins in the finish. Drink it over the next 6-10 years. Last tasted, 1/02.

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. James Suckling,Wine Spectator 1994
