Licorice, Chinese black tea, dried herbs, and some plum and fig-like fruit as well as freshly ground pepper emerge from the complex aromatics of the dark garnet-colored 1988 Latour a Pomerol. In the mouth the wine shows good concentration, some sweetness, but a somewhat chunky, monolithic style with scratchy tannins in the finish
Balanced and still fresh, displaying black cherry and currant flavors in a lean, firm package. It's tightly focused and well defined, with good concentration and a clean finish
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 17/20 points.
