Vinous: 94 Points
The 2017 Latour a Pomerol is a gorgeous wine that is at once deep and yet also super-expressive in its bouquet. Sweet tobacco, dried herbs, mint, pepper, and spice give the 2017 striking aromatic presence to play off a core of ripe red cherry fruit. Medium in body yet wonderfully deep and fleshy, the 2017 has so much to offer. I like it as much from bottle as I did from barrel.
James Suckling: 93 Points
Cedar and mulberry, as well as red-cherry and red-plum aromas here. Stone undertones. This has a very plush, fluid feel with ample tannins, delivered in a smooth, silky and fleshy mode. Bright, red-plum flavors carry long and even. So balanced.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
Deep garnet-purple in color and composed of 100% Merlot, the 2017 Latour à Pomerol leaps from the glass with expressive scents of baked plums, warm black cherries and boysenberries with wafts of fallen leaves, bouquet garni and fertile loam. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-coating, muscular black fruits with a firm backbone of rounded tannins and a long, minerally finish.
Wine Enthusiast: 93 Points
Tannins dominate this dense wine, giving weight to the black fruits and the dark-chocolate flavors. They also boost the blackberry fruits and acidity that bring in the balance to this fine wine. Drink from 2023.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
Inviting, with incense and warm plum aromas leading the way, followed by velvet-textured blackberry and fig fruit flavors. Ganache, tobacco and warm earth notes fill in through the finish, melding nicely with the fruit.
