Tasting Notes |
Good rich purple-red, supple and rounded fruit due to the high proportion of old Merlot, more gentle in style than in previous years, very attractive and should fill out in barrel. Drink 2012-17. 4 stars. Decanter Magazine |
A bit of raw and sandpaper-like on the nose. Then sweet and round and flattering very unlike Les Forts. So soft! So easy!!! Soft and round. Great for China. So different from the usual style of Les Forts. Drink 2012-17. Jancis Robinson |
Refined, with layers of polished tannins and a subtle and delicate palate. Medium-bodied, with lovely length and finesse. James Suckling |
Including 8.5% pressed wine. Very deep purple/garnet core with pink rim. A lighter nose than usual, like the Pauillac de Latour there is fine definition, a certain femininity and gracefulness about the nose, almost akin to a Margaux. The palate is medium-bodied, good acidity with fine tannins. There is not the volume of previous Les Forts de Latour, this is certainly more streamlined, perhaps a stripped down version of the 2005. Very Cabernet dominated on the finish with touches of pencil lead and cedar, cigar box on the aftertaste. Fine. Tasted April 2008. Neal Martin |
