Description

1996 Les Forts de Latour – Wine Spectator – Issue: Web Only – 2007: Amazing aromas of crushed berries and fresh flowers. Full-bodied, with wonderfully velvety tannins and a long, long finish. This wine has wonderful texture and length. What a second wine!–’95/’96 Bordeaux retrospective. Best after 2008.” JS for WS

“Latour’s second wine, Forts de Latour, is now one of the two or three finest second wines of Bordeaux (Bahans-Haut-Brion and the Clos du Marquis of Leoville Las-Cases are two other personal favorites). The 1996 appears to be the finest example of this wine since the 1982…” RP Feb 1998
