WEINWISSER: "was für ein verrückter Duft, erinnert mich an Chile. Eine volle Ladung frischer roter Cassis, gepaart mit einem zarten Hauch Eukalyptus, dahinter Heidelbeere, heller Tabak und Grafit. Am vielschichtigen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, engmaschigem Tanningerüst, stützender Rasse und mittlerem Körper. Im geradlinigen, fein aromatischen Finale Schattenmorelle, gepaart mit edler Bitternis. Ein maskuliner Pomerol dieses Jahr, Potenzialwertung."

DECANTER: "Succulent and juicy with fleshy, filling tannins that are so enjoyable. Blueberries, raspberries, some cranberry crunch with lashings of wet stone, graphite, slate, iron tang and liquorice spice. Wonderfully forward and bright but keeping a relatively straightforward expresion. Defies the vintage, I really like this. Hints of seduction in the depth of flavour while keeping a firm grip from the start. Ageing 50% new oak barrels for 12-14 months."

VINUM: "Verführerisch im Duft, feine Röstnoten über Brombeeren und Kirschen, etwas Tabak und Mokka; am Gaumen ausbalanciert, mit leicht cremiger Textur, perfekt verpacktes Holz, geschliffene Tannine, zeigt Opulenz, dabei keine Schwere, saftig, würzig, langanhaltend. Auch in diesem Jahr sehr gelungen."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart nach Nougat und Kräutern, schwarze Herzkirschen, Nuancen von Brombeerkonfit, kandierte Orangenzesten. Feinen Süße, reife Kirschfrucht, Anklänge von Pflaumen, dezente Säurestruktur, bereits sehr gut entwickelt, ein etwas opulenter wirkender Speisenbegleiter."

JEB DUNNUCK: "An estate that seems to be on an upward trajectory, the 2024 Château Latour A Pomerol is all Merlot aging in 50% new French oak for 12-14 months. Ripe black cherries, darker currants, smoky oak, graphite, and leafy herb notes all shine here. It's medium-bodied, has a pure, layered, elegant mouthfeel, sweet tannins, and outstanding length. It's a solid, forward, charming, straight-up seductive Pomerol that will offer pleasure right out of the gate."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: "Deep garnet-purple colored. Needs a little shaking to coax out scents of juicy red cherries and boysenberries, plus suggestions of forest floor, mossy tree bark, and wet slate. The light to medium-bodied palate delivers nicely rounded, approachable tannins with seamless freshness and savory layers on the finish."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Fresh, bright, soft, medium-bodied, and light on its feet, there is an elegance, and refined quality to the energetic, red fruits on the palate, as well as an open quality, so you can enjoy this just about on release, or wait a bit, if you can, and it will be even better. The wine is produced from 100% Merlot. The harvest took place September 17 - September 28. Drink from 2028-2040."

JAMES SUCKLING: "A firm, somewhat lean red with dark-berry, crushed-stone and dark-plum character. Medium-bodied, this has slightly austere tannins and a medium finish. Pure merlot."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Offering up aromas of dark berries, cherries, petals and violets, the 2024 Latour à Pomerol is medium to full-bodied, velvety and suave, with a layered, fleshy core of fruit, supple tannins and a pure, moderately persistent finish."
