Les Forts de Latour 2019
£285.70 (Inc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / North Ireland
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
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 merits 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.
