A very pleasant, medium-bodied, fleshy Pomerol. A fully mature nose of smoke, roasted vegetables, dried herbs, sweet currants, and caramel, medium to full body on the attack, but some drying even desiccating tannins in the finish make for a very good but somewhat uninspiring effort from Latour a Pomerol. Anticipated maturity: Now-2012. Last tasted, 1/02.
