In the 2019 vintage, this estate was a highlight of the Mouiex portfolio, and the 2020 Latour à Pomerol is a terrific follow-up. Bursting with aromas of cherries, dark berries, licorice, black truffle and petroleum jelly, it's medium to full-bodied, with a broad attack that segues into a rich core of fruit that's framed by sweet, powdery tannins. Robert Parker
On the nose it is fruity, elegant, offers freshness, a nice brightness of the fruit, excelled with power and complexity. It reveals the notes of bright wild blackberry, bright wild cassis and violet associated with touches of crushed strawberry, hints of nutmeg, tonka bean, discreet hints of green cardamom, sweet spices as well as a subtle hint of Madagascar pepper and fresh bourbon vanilla bean. On the mouth it is fruity and offers suavity, juiciness, a fine unctuosity, gourmandize, delicacy, power (in control), a nice fineness of grain, as well as subtlety in the approach. The wine express the notes of pulpy/sparkling blackberry, juicy/pulpy cassis and more lightly juicy/fresh blueberry combined with hints of violet, cornflower, the zan as well as hints of fresh/juicy purple plum, green cardamom, nutmeg, vanilla as well as a subtle hint of toasted hazelnut, sichuan pepper and a subtle hint of salinity (in the background). The tannins are precise, mellow, elegant and polished. A nice airy character in the mouth despite the richness. A nice bitterness (especially on the finish). VertdeVin
Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Ockerrandaufhellung. Mit einem Hauch von Nougat und Kardamom unterlegte schwarze Beerenfrucht, eingelegte Kirschen, feiner Edelholztouch. Saftig, reife Herzkirschen, angenehme Frische, runde, integrierte Tannine, rotbeerige Nuancen im Abgang, ein animierender Speisenbegleiter, zart salzig im Rückgeschmack, sicheres Reifepotenzial. Falstaff
Feiner Duft nach dunklen Beeren, etwas Tabak und Mokka, darüber. Im Gaumen ungemein geschmeidig, anfangs zurückhaltend, subtil, breitet sich dann mehr und mehr aus, zeigt einen mittleren bis kräftigen Körper und feinmaschige, seidige Gerbstoffe. Im Abgang von grosser Länge und mit einem feinwürzigen Rückarome. Das ist ein wunderbar sinnlicher, verführerischer und äusserst präziser Wein. 2025-2045 Adrian von Welsen
Viel versprechende, besonders blumige Aromatik von Veilchen und Beeren, gut durch die Eiche abgerundet; von vollmundiger, samtener Art, dicht und beeindruckend lang, feurig und doch nicht brennendend, von wohltuender Opulenz. Vinum Wine magazine
Rich, deep, dark, concentrated and packed with layers of black and red plums, chocolate, licorice, truffle and tobacco leaf in the nose, on the palate, this is where the action really takes place with its silky, full, vibrant mouth-feel. The wine finishes with layers of chocolate covered black cherries and plums drizzled with chocolate and a touch of espresso that comes in at the end. This is going to age and evolve for decades. Drink from 2025-2050. Jeff Leve
