Sexier in its life, but again far less impressive from bottle than cask, the 1985 Latour a Pomerol shows considerable amber at the edge. Some sweet mulberry, cranberry, and cherry fruit is intermixed with fruitcake, cedar, and black tea notes. The wine is medium-bodied and very elegant, with soft tannin in a modest finish.
Smooth, polished and supple, with a nice range of plum, cherry and exotic spices. The velvety finish echoes fruit and spice.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 17/20 points.
