Decanted for 4hrs and still austere but enjoyable. Had alongisde a spoiled '82 LaP, unfortunately. Even with its youth the fruit was noticeable - will be wonderful wine with age!

Voluptuous black cherries, wet earth, spice, flowers and kirsch are all over the place, Soft, silky and refined, there is lift, energy and polish to the silky fruits. Give this 5-7 years and enjoy it over the following 15 years or longer. Latour Pomerol has been getting better year after year and 2016 clearly continues the trend.

Soft, polished, medium bodied and forward, with silky tannins, freshness and ripe, sweet, juicy, red fruits topped off with black licorice. Give this a few years of age to further develop and it should be a beauty.

Echo some notes below. Soft and polished.
Probably way too young. Noticeable improvement continuing in hour 5. Complexity emerged.

If all Bordeaux was like this, I'd drink more of it. No "brett" here. Savory fruit and a beautiful silky mouth feel. Need more!

Wonderful young pomerol, red fruit and very well balanced. Better with age, 2 bottles left wish I had more. Better day 2
