Tasted at the Latour-à-Pomerol vertical in London. The 1937 Latour-à-Pomerol, a Belgian bottling by Robbes van der Hoogen, had that common trait of chlorine/disused swimming pool on the nose that dissipates with modest aeration, revealing ferrous red fruit, girolles and terracotta aromas underneath. The palate is still pleasant to drink. Yes it is rustic and big-boned, perhaps with some Malbec here, but quite citric and fresh with impressive density. It lumbers across the senses rather than glides, but you are not going to begrudge that for a 78-year-old Pomerol. Unlike the 1945, it remained pleasurable for 10-15 minutes. Tasted December 2015.
