Les Forts de Latour Pauillac 2016 3l in gift box
Les Forts de Latour is the renowned second wine of Château Latour and captures the depth and power of this Pauillac estate. Cabernet Sauvignon leads the blend, with a high proportion of Merlot and a small touch of Petit Verdot. The bouquet combines cassis, blue and black berries with cedar, cigar box, graphite and savoury herbs. On the palate the wine is medium to full-bodied, dense yet cool and focused, with firm, chalky tannins. The ripe fruit is wrapped in vibrant acidity, giving precision and energy. A long, structured finish with hints of tobacco, earth and spice underlines its ageing potential and makes it a superb match for roast beef, game and mature cheeses.
The wine is aged in French oak barrels with 50 % new wood; a reliable duration in months was not clearly available for this article.
