Description

90 points Robert Parker: "Latour's second wine, Forts de Latour, is now one of the two or three finest second wines of Bordeaux (Bahans-Haut-Brion and the Clos du Marquis of Leoville Las-Cases are two other personal favorites). The 1996 appears to be the finest example of this wine since the 1982, although readers should not pass up the 1995 should it be available. The 1996 is a bigger wine than the 1995, exhibiting an opaque ruby/purple color, much of the same character as its bigger, more forceful sibling, but more accessible fruit, a rich, medium to full-bodied, spicy character, and plenty of black currants and minerals in its personality. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2015." (02/98)
According to the Wine Spectator: "Very fine indeed. A perfumed wine with blackberry and mineral aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, with firm tannins that are polished and fine. Long on the finish.
