2015 Château Latour "Les Forts de Latour", Pauillac

Crafted by the exact same world-class winemaking team and utilizing the state-of-the-art facilities as Château Latour's flagship Grand Vin, Les Forts de Latour represents the pinnacle of Left Bank pedigree. Sourced from younger vines and dedicated plots, this elite selection captures the estate’s legendary signature style at a mere fraction of the First Growth price tag.

Hailing from a stellar, highly acclaimed vintage, the 2015 expression delivers a deeply structured, ripe, and powerful Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend. Balanced by velvety tannins, incredible freshness, and impeccable provenance direct from the Château, it is just hitting its sweet spot after a 60 to 90-minute decant and has the backbone to cellar effortlessly for another 10 to 15 years.

Critical Acclaim:

James Suckling Wine Logo

95 Points, James Suckling:

Aromas of blackcurrants, sweet tobacco, fresh herbs, licorice and cigar box follow through to a full body with tannins that are totally integrated and ultra, ultra fine, framing the wine and highlighting the subtle, pretty fruit. All about grace and beauty. Keeps getting better." - May 2021 

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Logo

94 Points, Wine Advocate:

" ... needs a fair bit of air to unlock a profound, powerhouse nose of blackcurrant cordial, boysenberries, plum preserves and dark chocolate, with suggestions of Chinese five spice, clove oil, violets and crushed rocks. The palate packs an absolute flavor wallop, bursting with rich, ripe black fruits and loads of spicy sparks, while framed by beautifully plush tannins, finishing long and minerally." - April 2021

Vinous Wine Media Logo

94 Points, Vinous Media:

" ... silky, perfumed and wonderfully nuanced from the very first taste. Crushed red berry, cedar, tobacco, mint and blood orange lend striking aromatic nuance. Ample and resonant in feel, yet with mid-weight structure, the 2015 is a total pleasure to taste today. All of the natural radiance of the warm year comes through in the wine's generous, inviting personality. Drink it over the next 15 years or so. -March 2021
