Chateau Latour A Pomerol 2000 (750ml)
Chateau Latour A Pomerol 2000 (750ml)
Rich, seductive and gloriously textured, the 2000 Latour à Pomerol opens with layers of fig, blackberry and boysenberry compote, laced with melted licorice and ganache. Plush suede-coated tannins wrap around the dense, supple core, offering a fleshy yet balanced mouthfeel. Notes of tar, black truffle and a hint of eau-de-vie deepen the finish. Mature but still full of life, this classic Right Bank wine combines generosity with the hallmark elegance of old Pomerol vineyards, delivering a long, savoury close.

Tasted at the Latour-à-Pomerol vertical in London. The 2000 Latour-à-Pomerol is a classic in the making and far exceeded expectations. Apparently Mme Lacoste inspected the vineyard with Jean-Pierre Moueix during the harvest at the ripe old age of 94! The nose is more powerful than the 2005, unrestrained, almost feral but totally captivating. Here there are opulent blackberries, blueberry and even a faint touch of eau-de-vie. The palate is dense in the mouth and yet wonderfully balanced, rounded and sensual with layers of tarry black fruit fanning out on the prolonged finish. Do not ignore this Pomerol among the pantheon of great millennial Right Banks. The quiet horse of the vintage? Tasted December 2015.

In 2000, this was still the property of Lily Lacoste, who also owned Pétrus. Latour à Pomerol was sold in 2001 to a Catholic charity. The management, then and now, is with the Moueix family who make the most of the fabulous vineyard. The 2000 is a hugely opulent, velvet textured wine, but it retains hints of the elegance that is the hallmark of this property.
