Expert Review
Robert Parker
Perhaps the finest example ever made (including the extraordinary 1982) of Les Forts de Latour, the 2009 (61.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32.3% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot) is nearly as potent as the Pauillac at 13.5% alcohol. An opaque purple color is followed by notes of black fruits, crushed rocks, spring flowers, and hints of blackberries and smoke. Prodigiously rich and thick with an amazingly long finish of 50 seconds, this astonishing second wine will undoubtedly put on weight before bottling, and should last for 25-30 years.

Les Forts de Latour is a classic Pauillac with intense blackcurrant/ cedar/ lead pencil aromas, plenty of juicy mulberry/ cassis fruit, fine granular tannins and sustained flavours. This could easily be a second Growth wine this year.

Violet and mineral, with hints of blackberry and blueberry on the nose. Full-bodied, with super-reserved and refined tannins, yet dense and very impressive. Long and racy. Lasts for minutes.

65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32.5% Merlot, 0.5% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot. Mellow and lively. Very sweet start. Big and bold. Perhaps very slightly richer than the ideal Forts....Lots of pleasure...

Mint aromas hint at the wood, but more important is the massive Merlot fruit that is an essential element in the blend. The result is a wine that blends richness and power with an initially severe character. Slowly it opens to reveal opulent blackberry jam flavors, immensely ripe.
