“Ruby-red. Cool aromas of crunchy blueberry, black cherry, flowers and minerals. Suave, precise and vibrant, with cabernet-dominated flavors of black cherry and minerals. Offers superb subtle sweetness, and finishes with outstanding backbone and length. This will be approachable far earlier than Latour; even today the tannins are firm but not hard. Latour recently purchased 12 hectares of cabernet vines between 30 and 40 years of age, and much of this parcel went into Les Forts de Latour in 2005. “

Shows blackberry, coffee, cedar, and raisin on the nose, turning to licorice and fresh flowers. Full-bodied, with refined, silky tannins and a long finish. Balanced and juicy. Builds on the palate, with currant, licorice and mineral character, followed by a powerful finish. An amazing second wine.
The 2005 Forts de Latour (10,000 cases produced) possesses much of the same character as Latour, but sweeter tannins, more obvious and forward fruit, medium to full body, and a more seductive, plusher style, but not the great stature, richness, and architectural precision of its bigger brother. Nevertheless, it is a gorgeous Pauillac that should drink well for two decades or more.
Guided wine recommendations are based on the region, varietal, flavor profile, and similar customer preferences as this wine.
