Der 20er ist so unglaublich viel finessereicher als der aufregende Powerwein aus 2019. Aber gerade in diesem unglaublichen Spiel und in dieser verspielten Feinheit ist das eine große Schönheit. Die Tiefe des Latour kombiniert mit dieser Zartheit gibt eine Ode an die Freude.

Suckling über: Les Forts de Chateau Latour

Blue fruits and lead pencil come through here. Medium to full body. Firm and silky tannins and a crisp and citrusy finish. Nice zest. Floral and fruity. Al dente fruit. Needs four or five years to show its excellence. Try after 2028.,

Jeb Dunnuck über: Les Forts de Chateau Latour

A blockbuster of a Les Forts, the 2020 Les Forts de Latour is based on 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26.5% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot and aged 18 months in 60% new French oak. Its deep ruby/plum hue is followed by textbook Latour notes of currants, melted crayon, graphite, and lead pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, dense, and concentrated on the palate, it has a powerful, structured mouthfeel, remarkable purity, perfectly ripe tannins, and a great, great finish. It might be the finest Les Forts I've tasted. Hitting 13.1% alcohol, it's approachable today yet has another 30 years of longevity. Drink 2026-2056.

Neal Martin über: Les Forts de Chateau Latour

The 2020 Les Forts de Latour has a fresh, delineated, precise and focused bouquet of graphite-infused black fruit. The oak is neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with sapid black fruit, fine depth and ample grip. This builds momentum toward a structured finish, with a dash of spice lingering on the aftertaste. Excellent. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.,,,

Jane Anson über: Les Forts de Chateau Latour

Love the texture and depth on display from the first momebt, a brilliant vintage to track down a bottle of Les Forts de Latour. This is packed with delicious and sappy blackberry, damson and cassis fruit, coupling concentration and elegance. 3.67ph. 60% new oak for ageing. Hélène Genin technical director and estate manager.

Decanter über: Les Forts de Chateau Latour

A fresh lilt to the grippy tannins, and the overall feel is elegant, balanced, classical and enjoyably savoury, with the spicy black pepper and grilled rosemary notes that come from the overall concentration and intensity of the vintage. An excellent Forts de Latour, but not an exuberant one. 5.1% press, 44% of overall production. 93/100

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...
