Parker om: Les Forts de Chateau Latour

The 2019 Les Forts de Latour opens in the glass with aromas of cassis, wild berries, sweet spices, cigar wrapper and a deft application of creamy new oak. Full-bodied, layered and velvety, it’s a deep, muscular wine with rich tannins, lively acids and a long, resonant finish. As readers will know, it mostly derives from dedicated parcels located further inland from Latour's famous "Enclos," next to Château Haut-Batailley. It's a fabulous effort that would clearly merit classified growth status in its own right were the 1855 classification ever to be revised. 94+/100

Jane Anson om: Les Forts de Chateau Latour

Inky, great depths with a vivid violet rim, this is exceptional, balanced and full of character. Coming out of its serious early years, showing fleshy plum, damson and cassis fruits, along with graphite, slate, fennel and toast. If you like your wines particuarly powerful, you can go for it now and over the next few years, but it will age for a good few decades from here. Chiselled, very much speaking of its Pauillac heritage. 70% new oak for ageing, 39% of Latour's production in this vintage. Hélène Genin technical director, second year certified organic.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Les Forts de Chateau Latour

A solid step up, the 2019 Les Forts De Latour offers a classic, regal Latour style in its cassis and darker fruits as well as good complexity in its cedar, sandalwood, graphite, and ripe tobacco aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied and wonderfully textured, with a great finish, it too will evolve for a good two decades, although, as with most 2019s, there's no need to delay gratification. 94/100

Jancis Robinson om: Les Forts de Chateau Latour

Tasted blind. Serious, savoury nose. Intense but cool, with classic Pauillac minerality. But not the most concentrated. 17,5/20

Det er velkendt, at Château Latours Grand Vin er en af de mest kraftfulde, fyldige, tanninholdige og koncentrerede vine i verden. Så her er blot et par ord om Château Latours andenvin: Forts de Latour er ikke en klassisk andenvin lavet af unge vinstokke, men består af omkring to tredjedele gamle...
