Note di degustazione
The 2013 Les Forts De Latour is a rock-solid Pauillac, offering a rich, almost Burgundian bouquet of blackcurrants, cassis, forest floor, menthol, and spice. This was an incredibly challenging vintage, yet this 2013 has medium body, a solid mid-palate, and fine tannins. It’s fully mature, but vintages like this have a way of surprising with their longevity. Nevertheless, I would certainly drink it over the coming 7-8 years or so.

An attractive wine, the 2013 Les Forts de Latour has turned out beautifully, even if it is a bit more angular than it was en primeur. Bright acids and sharp tannins give certain edginess that suggest the Forts de Latour might need more time, but then again, the 2013 probably doesn't have the stuffing to support more than medium term aging. Hints of sweet spice, herbs, leather, tobacco, grilled herbs, and menthol accent the nuanced finish. All in all, this is a very pretty 2013. The blend is 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot.
Medium to deep garnet with a slight, remaining hint of purple, the 2013 Les Forts de Latour (a blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot) gives up earthy notions of mossy bark, underbrush and fertile loam with a core of warm red and black currants, dried mulberries and mincemeat pie, plus hints of potpourri and dried bay leaves. Medium-bodied, it delivers a lot of earthy/savory freshness with mineral nuances lifting the muscular red fruit core, finishing long and fragrant.
Tasted blind. Light notes of dark fruit. Dry and rather lean but at least it is not overoaked. (JH)
