Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (91)

An outstanding, medium to full-bodied effort, the 2000 Latour a Pomerol exhibits a plum/purple color, admirable texture, medium to full body, and notes of caramels, truffles, sweet earth, and cola interwoven with black cherry liqueur and plums. Pure, deep, and classic, with moderately high tannin in the finish, patience is essential.

Winespectator (95)

A wine with a reserved, yet complex nose of blackberries, raspberries and flowers. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a soft, sweet fruit finish. A beautiful wine to taste. Hard not to drink this. Best I have had in years. The real thing. Better than the 1998.

Vinous (94)

The 2000 Latour-à-Pomerol turned out to be a classic. The nose contains even more horsepower than the 2005. It's unrestrained yet totally entrancing with blackberry and blueberry fruit tinged with melted asphalt and eau-de-vie. The dense palate is as wonderfully balanced and sensual as the 1998, with layers of black fruit that fan out gloriously toward the multidimensional finish. Christian Moueix once told me how proprietor Mme. Lacoste inspected the vineyard with Jean-Pierre Moueix during the millennial harvest at the ripe old age of 94. What a fabulous valedictory Latour-à-Pomerol for la grande dame. Tasted at the Latour à Pomerol dinner at Taillevent in London.
