2005 Les Forts de Latour, Pauillac

Les Forts de Latour, Pauillac
The 2005 Forts de Latour (10,000 cases produced) possesses much of the same character as Latour, but sweeter tannins, more obvious and forward fruit, medium to full body, and a more seductive, plusher style, but not the great stature, richness, and architectural precision of its bigger brother. Nevertheless, it is a gorgeous Pauillac that should drink well for two decades or more.
(Robert Parker - Wine Advocate - 30-Apr-2008)

Les Forts de Latour, Pauillac
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.
