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.

Good rich purple-red, supple and rounded fruit due to the high proportion of old Merlot, more gentle in style than in previous years, very attractive and should fill out in barrel.

"A bit of raw and sandpaper-like on the nose. Then sweet and round and flattering - very unlike Les Forts. So soft! So easy!!! Soft and round...So different from the usual style of Les Forts." (www.jancisrobinson.com)
