Released four years ago, this retains bright vivid plum and black cherry fruit, cedar spices, with rich plum pudding concentration and muscular Pauillac tannins, a superlative 2nd wine that shines with appellation character. Last time I tasted this I called it the epitome of a great 94 point wine, and I fully stand by that assessmebt. Hélène Genin technical director.
The 2014 Les Forts de Latour has one of the most impressive aromatics amongst the Pauillac, with blackberry, cedar and cassis notes. A touch of pencil lead comes through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins. It's fresh and saline, with brisk graphite-infused black fruit towards the persistent, fleshy, silky finish. Outstanding for a Deuxième Vin. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.
Tasted blind. Fresh, fragrant, pure and dark fruited. Firmly tannic yet those tannins are refined and the whole is just about in harmony. Could do with a little more fruit depth at the core. (JH)
