Note di degustazione
The second wine of this estate shouldn’t be underestimated, and it’s always a brilliant wine in its own right. The 2008 Les Forts de Latour is 66% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot, and it has a classic Latour – and Pauillac – style in its medium to full-bodied, balanced, focused profile. Offering up ample dark fruits, tobacco, and cedar pencil, it has beautiful concentration, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It’s more approachable and ready to go than the Grand Vin, yet certainly has another 10-15 years of prime drinking.

Bright crimson. Very minty nose. But quite luscious fruit on the palate. Velvety texture but still with lots of tannins still so no hurry to drink. (JR)
Tasted blind. Some purity and density. Lots of dry tannin stacked up for the future but luscious charm for now and massive concentration. Spice and ink with a cool finish. Complete and glamorous. (JR)
