Critic Notes
Tasted at the Latour-a-Pomerol vertical in London. The 1929 Latour-a-Pomerol had a fragrant bouquet, a little earthiness, smoke and black truffle, hints of chlorine like the 1937, rustic but quite sensual. The palate is fresh and crisp, a small bead of acidity here, showing no signs of volatility and not a million miles away from an old Burgundy Pinot Noir, towards what I feel what once upon a time must have been a fleshy finish. It does not nail you to the floor, however, it has survived over decades and 86 years later, can still give a modicum of drinking pleasure. Yet based on this showing, it is probably more suited for a museum than a wine cellar. The question mark indicates that if I ever encounter this 1929 again, it might be totally different. Tasted December 2015. Oct 2016, www.robertparker.com
Score: 88-/100 Neal Martin
