When to drink this wine ? : A mature vintage 

Tasted in 1996: ‘I would say that the most exciting wines of the twentieth century are the 1947 Pomerols. Although the 1947s from Petrus and Lafleur (two perfect wines) were not included in the Rodenstock tasting, the wines tasted illustrate the number of exhilarating, decadent and sumptuous wines produced by this tiny appellation.

I was lucky enough to taste Latour a Pomerol 1947 several times. It is a slightly older clone of the 1961 Latour a Pomerol candidate for Wine of the Century. The 1947 had an extraordinary opaque purple colour with only a little lightening at the edges. This exotic, gigantic, seductive and terribly concentrated wine never stops developing on the palate. It is reminiscent of a cross between Cheval Blanc 1947 and Petrus 1947. Smooth, dense and breathtaking, what else can be said of such a perfect, exhilarating wine? This candy-like wine should drink well for another 20 years.’
