On the palate it is medium to full-bodied, pure, and textured, with ripe dark fruit wrapped in smooth tannins and a refined, lingering finish.\n\nThe 2008 vintage shows attractive density and enough structure to keep it developing gracefully over the near term. While already expressive, it still has the balance to evolve further, with the producers’ recommendation suggesting it is best enjoyed within a decade of vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau Latour à Pomerol is located in the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux, an area known for its clay and gravel soils that suit Merlot especially well.
