Château Latour
Les Forts de Latour Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend
Pauillac, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
The 2004 Les Forts de Latour is a blend of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon and 26% Merlot and displays a dark Ruby color with purple inky edges. The 2004 had concentrated welcoming fruit aromas with hints of herbs. The palate was very smooth and drinkable, fruit was still intense with sweet ripe berry fruits and currants, firm structure and balance with silky tannins and finishing long with some minerality and gentle cedar notes. Outstanding!

This wine was corked, but I didn't have the heart to give it a lower rating. One of the first "expensive" wines purchased.
