2011 Les Forts de Latour, Pauillac

Les Forts de Latour, Pauillac
Up there with, and surpassing many Second Growths, and even a couple of Firsts, Les Forts is a truly fabulous wine. Silky, super fine tannins cover a dense, sweet core of vibrant, racy and ripe fruit. It is a fabulous wine this year, only a tiny way behind the stunning 2009 and 2010. Hopefully, restrained pricing on this might bring it down enough for us mere mortals to be able to try.
(Simon Staples, Berrys’ Fine Wine Director)

Lovely fragrance, natural purity and vineyard depth, beautifully made claret - a jewel of a wine.

Les Forts de Latour, Pauillac
One of the finest second wines now being made, Les Forts de Latour comes from the same parcel every year. The 2011 is composed of 61.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 38.5% Merlot. Forty-three percent of the Latour production was relegated to this cuvee. Its opaque purple color is accompanied by a big, sweet nose of creme de cassis, underbrush, licorice and incense. Medium to full-bodied, deep, fleshy and already appealing, this 2011 should gain complexity over the next 5-7 years, and last for 15-20.

By the way, Latour harvested relatively late for the Medoc, beginning the harvest on September 12 and finishing on September 26.

Les Forts de Latour, Pauillac
This wine is sleek, velvety, caressing even, with no angles at all, offering pure cherry preserves and floral notes, with a long, cassis-infused finish that expands nicely as this airs.
