![](https://p8.secure.hostingprod.com/@site.belmontwine.com/ssl/ystore/images/spacer.gif) | Qty=1Size=750 ml, RP[92]"Tasted at the Latour-à-Pomerol vertical in London. The 1985 Latour-à-Pomerol has a beautiful nose that is far more compelling than the 1986. There is plenty of sous-bois here that infuses the black fruit and over 20 or 30 minutes, one observes rosemary and lavender scents developing, ultimately mutating into a Graves-like bouquet. The palate is medium-bodied with supple and lithe tannin, a common trait of this vintage. There is more red fruit here than the "black" 1986, quite linear and focused, hints of cured meat/salami towards the refined finish. This is probably at its peak now, but well-stored bottles have another dozen years of pleasure to give. Tasted December 2015." - Neal Martin, robertparker.com (Oct 28, 2016) |
