Spicy and sappy on the nose with crunchy dark fruit. Highly structured with dense, firm tannins. Will need time to open out. FINE+RARE

Made from 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the 2012 Latour A Pomerol is a gem in the vintage and is well worth seeking out. Blackcurrants, damp earth, leafy tobacco, and plenty of cedary herbs all emerge from this full-bodied, powerful, yet elegant Pomerol. Rounded, sexy, and voluptuous, with beautiful purity, it’s already impossible to resist, yet I suspect it will cruise for two decades.

Score 93/100 · Drink 2018-2032, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2016

The 2012 Latour a Pomerol is intensely aromatic and beautifully layered in the glass. Sweet herbs, tobacco, raspberry jam, mint and roasted coffee beans are all laced together. Sensual and inviting, the 2012 is all about subtlety and nuance. Super-ripe black cherries, iron, smoke and tobacco add further complexity. The 2012 deftly balances unctuous richness with terrific aromatic presence and delineation. The Cabernet Franc is particularly expressive today.
