Lot #28. Les Forts de Latour 2010

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Region: France, Bordeaux, Pauillac.
Score: 97 WA.
"2010 was a very dry vintage of exceptional quality, producing incredibly structured and complex wines that are a little formidable when young but should age incredibly. Deep garnet-purple colored, the nose of the 2010 Les Forts de Latour is broody with subtle notes of licorice, tar, crushed black berries and plums with hints of spice cake and hoisin. Full-bodied, firm and grainy with an impenetrable core of muscular fruit, it finishes with fantastic persistence . . . . it may well outlive the 1970 Les Forts that I recently tasted with Latour's CEO, Frédéric Engerer." Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate #241, Feb 2019
Provenance: The Antilope Cellar
Notes: Released from the cellar of Chateau Latour in 2020.
