The Forts de Latour 1988 from Château Latour, born on the gravels of Pauillac, blends Merlot (25–30%) and Cabernet Sauvignon for a silky balance. This vintage, with its aromas of blackcurrant and gentle spices, reveals a fresh and mineral palate. To be savoured with roast lamb or game, until 2002.
Château Latour
A historic pillar of the Médoc, this estate embodies the exacting standards of the great wines of Pauillac, shaped by an exceptional terroir and an uninterrupted winemaking tradition.
- Terroir : Deep gravel and calcareous clays of Pauillac, where Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes under a temperate oceanic climate, imparting a mineral structure and tannic elegance to the wines.
- Vinification : Rigorous blending, aging in oak barrels for a harmony between power and finesse, reflecting the estate's signature style — precise and timeless.
Tasting notes for Château Latour Forts de Latour 1988
- On the eye : Garnet robe with tiled reflections, of silky density, betraying an accomplished maturity and a velvety texture.
- On the nose : Aromas of candied blackcurrant, damp cedar, and blonde tobacco, lifted by a touch of graphite and a subtle iodine salinity, the signature of the great terroirs of Pauillac.
- On the palate : A lively and precise attack, where velvety yet still taut tannins unfold, accompanied by a chalky acidity and a long finish carried by notes of liquorice and undergrowth.
Serve at 16–18 °C in a Bordeaux glass to release its full complexity.
Vintage 1988
A vintage marked by slow maturity and rare balance, where cool nights preserved the acidity and tension of the wines.
- Aging potential : Best enjoyed ideally between 1993 and 2002, in cool cellar conditions (12–14 °C) and away from light, to preserve its brilliance.
