The deep garnet-purple colored 2017 Latour à Pomerol is 100% Merlot with pretty notions of red roses, potpourri and lavender over a core of red currants, black cherries and blueberries plus hints of baking spices and forest floor. The palate is medium-bodied and grainy with approachable tannins, invigorating freshness and bags of fruit, finishing on a spicy note. Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate
