Lobenberg: Genialer Zweitwein und dem Grand Vin in 2019 wie aus dem Gesicht geschnitte. Dazu saftig und intensiv.

Suckling über: Les Forts de Chateau Latour

-- Suckling: Exquisite aromas of lavender, cigar ash and Spanish cedar with dried citrus follow through to a medium body and a solid palate with powerful, ultrafine and linear tannins. The muscle and long finish are so beautiful. Give it two or three years but already a solid wine. Drink after 2028.

Lisa Perrotti Brown über: Les Forts de Chateau Latour

-- Lisa Perrotti Brown: Composed of 65.8% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31.9% Merlot, and 2.3% Petit Verdot, the 2019 Les Forts de Latour is deep garnet-purple in color. It opens with classic scents of cedar, cassis, and plum preserves, followed by suggestions of bay leaves, lavender, and crushed rocks. The medium to full-bodied palate is tight-knit, bright, and refreshing, with fine-grained tannins and a mineral-laced finish.

Parker über: Les Forts de Chateau Latour

-- Parker: 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 über: Les Forts de Chateau Latour

-- Jane Anson: 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 über: Les Forts de Chateau Latour

-- Jeb Dunnuck: 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

Falstaff über: Les Forts de Chateau Latour

-- Falstaff: Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Ockerrandaufhellung. Zart blättrige Würze, Brombeeren, dezentes Cassis, ein Hauch von Orangenzesten, etwas Grafit, facettenreiches Bukett. Saftig, rote Kirschen, dezente Extraktsüße, lebendige Struktur, würzig im Abgang, ein animierender Speisenbegleiter, den man einige Stunden dekantieren sollte.

Decanter über: Les Forts de Chateau Latour

-- Decanter: A captivating nose of milk chocolate, cola, cherries, and violets, offering a soft and inviting bouquet. The palate is fully textured, opening gradually to coat the cheeks and tongue in a fine layer of chalky tannins. Juicy and succulent through the mid-palate, it bursts with citrus zest, orange and lemon pith, cranberries, and red cherries. There’s a beautiful interplay of bite and tension, with a sapdi freshness and a mineral core of crushed stones and iron. The finish ends bright, minty, and herbal, delivering great drive and persistence. 3.60pH.

Jancis Robinson über: Les Forts de Chateau Latour

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

Latour

Die Tatsache, dass der Grand Vin von Château Latour zu den kräftigsten, gehaltvollsten, tanninreichsten und konzentriertesten Weinen der Welt zählt, dürfte hinlänglich bekannt sein. Daher hier nur einige Worte zum Zweitwein des Château Latour: der Forts de Latour ist kein klassischer Zweitwein aus...
