The 2019 Les Forts de Latour appears to have tightened up a little since I last tasted it a few years ago. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of sweet cassis fruit mingled with hints of cedar, iris, orange zest and new oak, it's medium to full-bodied, lively and nicely concentrated, with a ripe core of fruit underpinned by chalky structuring tannins. While it's approachable after a decant, it certainly deserves additional patience. As readers will remember, this bottling mostly derives from dedicated parcels located further inland from Latour's famous "Enclos," next to Château Haut-Batailley.

? /100

Exquisite aromas of lavender, cigar ash and Spanish cedar with dried citrus follow through to a medium body and a solid palate with powerful, ultrafine and linear tannins. The muscle and long finish are so beautiful. Give it two or three years but already a solid wine. Drink after 2028.

James Suckling

94 /100

Dark ruby, purple reflections, ocher highlights. Delicately leafy savouriness, blackberries, subtle cassis, a hint of orange zest, some graphite, multi-faceted bouquet. Juicy, red cherries, subtle fruit expression, lively structure, spicy on the finish, an animating food wine that should be decanted for a few hours. (1/2025, +30), Available from March 2025.

Falstaff

94 /100

Restrained and more subdued than the Pauillac de Latour, but this has momentum and character, and is lip-smackingly moreish. Brambled blackberry fruits are constrained within sinewy and fairly serious tannins, with liquorice, tobacco, slate, rosemary and truffle. Not the concentration of a vintage like 2016 in this wine, but hard to argue with, and should be ready to drink within five or six years. 70% new oak, 39% of production.

Cabernet Sauvignon

Denne vin er en del af Pinot Noir Blends – en spændende kombination af Bordeaux' kraftfulde Cabernet Sauvignon og Bourgognes elegante Pinot Noir. Den tykskallede drue elsker varme, solrige klimaer og giver vine med dyb farve, kraftig struktur og markante tanniner. Det er en vin med personlighed – stærk nok til at stå alene, men også perfekt som fundament i blends.

To verdener mødes: Cabernets faste tanniner og solbærsaromaer forenes med Pinot Noirs jordnære kirsebærtoner og silkeagtige tekstur. Resultatet er en vin med både struktur og finesse – kraftfuld, men stadig nuanceret.

En sjælden blend, der viser hvad der sker, når to af verdens mest elskede druesorter kombineres.

Cabernet Sauvignon er for dig, der søger kraft, struktur og dybde. Det er vine med lagringspotentiale – nogle kan nydes straks, andre udvikler sig smukt gennem årtier. Her får du en vinsstil med international appel og lokalkarakter.
