VERY elegant wine, especially for 2001 at this early stage of ripeness. Beautiful lingering aftertaste. Some mint tones on the palate. Fairly closed on the nose but with dark fruit like little berries, Classic style.
Better than most Bon Pasteurs I had before. Very dark colour. Strong nose with creme de cassis and tabacco tones. Thick fruit, some 'kecap' on the palate. Coarse tannins in after taste - bit dry.
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Saint-Émilion Grand Cru
Thick overripe fruit, cake and modern style on the nose. Full and thick on the palate with load of fruits (and tannins). Missing elegance and not that balanced. Needs more time.
Thick ripe fruits like cassis and berries, and spices in the nose. Still unripe on the palate. Interesting wine, very concentrated, needs time! Lingering on with well-integrated tannins.

Such a beautiful wine, great terroir. Medicine chest and mineral tones. Drink now but will be fine for some time.

Dark coloured. Classic on the nose. Nice fruit and attractive. Still young, better wait another 3 years.

2001 Château Latour à Pomerol
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol
Dark colour. Had just been opened from a cold cellar, and clearly needs more time to show. Classic style, minerals and berries.
