Château Latour Pauillac Les Forts de Latour 2005
Crushed blackberries, wild strawberries, white truffles and leather, this is fully open and at a great moment to drink, just heading towards tertiary character. Easily one of the most consistently impressive 2nd wines in Bordeaux, Forts de Latour was launched under Henri Martin and Jean-Paul Gardère in 1966, and at one point in its history there was even a discussion about it becoming part of a revised 1855 classification. What’s for sure is that this is a great vintage to discover it if you haven’t so far. 100% new oak for ageing.
