Parker about Château Latour Les Forts 2016
The 2016 Les Forts de Latour is superb, unwinding in the glass with notions of blackcurrants, wild berries, sweet loamy soil, cigar wrapper and English walnuts. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's concentrated and tightly wound, with superb depth at the core, lively acids and ripe, powdery tannins. This is an impeccably balanced, utterly classical Forts de Latour worth a special effort to seek out.
Suckling over Château Latour Les Forts 2016
Lots of blueberries, ripe blackberries, violets, peppercorns, olives and cloves on the nose. It's medium-to full-bodied with firm, fleshy tannins. Beautiful blue fruits and flowers. Layered and long.
