Note di degustazione
The 2001 Les Forts de Latour is one of many that I had not tasted for a decade. Now at 20 years old, it has a lovely, almost melted bouquet of black fruit laced with tar, cedar and pine, rose petal, occupying that liminal point between primary and secondary stages. The well-balanced palate offers a dash of black pepper on the entry and shows good weight and tension. It’s lively yet classic in style, and fans out wonderfully toward the persistent, saline finish.

Exciting nose. Polished and accomplished. Lots there. Dry but there is flesh there too. Serious wine. Says ‘top tonnelier’ immediately. Very vivacious. (JR)
Mid crimson with some transparency. Savoury, appetising and very winning. Racy. Sleek, relatively lightweight but very classic claret. Juicy and wonderfully gouleyant . Dry finish but absolutely classic. Sort of St-Julien structure, with Pauillac minerality. The first vintage in the new facility with smaller vats. (JR)
Mid weight – light fragrance. Sweet start and very lively – very charming. Hint of toast and very rich for a Médoc. Not big but a good drink. Brisk and clean. (JR)
