This is a wonderful way to sneak a peak at one of the worlds greatest wines at
a more than reasonable price. You always taste the "Pau" with Les Forts and the
Grand Vin and this charming Pauillac de Latour is no exception. It's ripe,
supple and succulent with really impressive, concentrated, cool, precise black
and red fruits. To double the pleasure, pop it in a decanter for an hour and a
half before serving at 16 to 18 degrees.
(Simon Staples, Berrys' Fine Wine Director)

In 2007 Les Forts de Latour has produced a wine that is comfortably of Second
Growth quality. It is an elegant, feminine Les Forts rather than a tannic
beast, perfectly harnessing the finest aspects of the vintage. The nose is
brooding and serious, while on the palate the wine explodes with sweet
mouthfilling cassis and cool precise blackberries with licorice and coffee
hints. Made from 59% Cabernet Sauvignon and 41% Merlot this is creamy and
refined with very supple tannins. It may not reach the dizzy heights of the
2005 but in the context of the vintage it is excellent.

We had been a bit disappointed with the quality of the Second wines in 2006
until we tasted this astonishingly good Forts de Latour. We scored this wine
better than the two Pichons, which were themselves two of the best Second
Growths in 2006. This has outstanding balance and pedigree from the dense,
dark, aromatic nose to the very long, pure finish. The wine reflects the
elegance of 2006 with lifted, cool black fruit on the palate, a great structure
and savoury tannins.

With only 40% of the crop making it into the Grand Vin it is perhaps not
surprising that this is, to put it mildly, a bit of alright. Old vines
have helped give this wine real backbone to go with the intense, mouthwatering
cassis fruit and pure minerality. The finish is quite incredible. This is
so good that you can also understand how the Wine Spectator's James Suckling
marked it 95-100 points. Drink 2012-2020.

"A brilliant Forts de Latour, the 2000 boasts a dense ruby/purple color along with a vibrant nose of black currants intermixed with minerals, tobacco, and spice box. Medium to full-bodied, with loads of glycerin and fat (that nearly obscure some serious tannin), it will be drinkable between 2007-2020." 91/100 points (Robert Parker - Wine Advocate - Apr-2003)

"A flavorful, savory Latour, without a great deal of density or power,
the 1997 exhibits sweet, walnut-tinged, black currant fruit intertwined with
minerals and subtle wood. Nicely-textured, with adequate acidity, ripe tannin,
and a medium-bodied finish, this smooth effort should drink well until
2014 " 89/100 pts Robert Parker (Wine Advocate Apr 00)

An unusually high percentage of Merlot in the blend makes this a softer, more approachable Latour. It is nonetheless a powerful, intense wine that will need another 3 years before it is ready, but it will be worth the wait. You can already detect a fabulous purity of fruit and textbook cigar box and cassis; high tannins without astringency and a remarkable length. If you can resist, it will keep until 2030.
