Les Forts de Latour 2004, the second wine of Château Latour, comes from the gravelly soils of Pauillac. A blend of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon and 26% Merlot, it reveals blackcurrant, spices and blackberry after 18 months in barrels. Silky, mineral palate with a persistent finish. Ideal after 10 to 15 years, paired with meats or cheeses.
