Beskrivelse

"Composed of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35.6% Merlot, 0.5% Cabernet Franc and 0.9% Petit Verdot, the 2015 Les Forts de Latour 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. Not at all heavy, on the contrary, the Les Forts is both expansive AND tantalizingly refreshing. In terms of evolution, it has barely budged since I last tasted it in 2017. While it's drinking very well right now, it easily has a good 20 years of cellaring ahead, maybe more. Impressive. 94+/100" – The Wine Advocate, Parker

 

"The 2015 Les Forts de Latour has a little more fruit intensity than its peers, offering blackberry, graphite and cedar – all quintessential Pauillac – though it would benefit from a tad more precision. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grip, beautiful balance and polished blackberry and bilberry fruit toward the finish, where a tang of salinity lends tension. This is an outstanding Les Forts de Latour. 94/100" – Neal Martin, Vinous

 

"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. 95/100" – James Suckling

 

"On the nose you get a full array of floral aromatics, and a gorgeous exuberance. The gourmet edge that is never far away from the surface in the 2015 vintage is very much in play, along with touches of truffle, cigar box and an earthy openness even at six years old. A smoked caramel note comes in on the end, as does a hit of mouthwatering salinity. It's not as intense as Forts in vintages like 2010 or 2016 but it has an ease to it that is hugely appealing, and can be drunk from now and for at least another 15 years. 94/100" - Decanter

Fra bordeaux området i Frankrig
Bordeaux er et vindistrikt i Frankrig, hvor der årligt produceres 700 millioner flasker vin, heraf 80 % rødvin. Området er delt i tre områder: Venstrebredden, som ligger til venstre for Gironde-floden, hvor druen Cabernet Sauvignon dominerer. Højrebredden, som ligger til højre for Gironde-floden, og her dominerer Merlot-druen. Entre-Deux-Mers, som ligger syd for og mellem de to bredder – her produceres der primært hvidvin. De verdensberømte Sauternes ligger på vestbredden i distriktet Graves. Der findes følgende appellationer i Bordeaux: Médoc, Graves, Entre-Deux-Mers, Saint-Émilion, Fronsac, Bourg, Blaye, Pomerol, Sauternes, Saint-Croix-du-Mont og Cadillac.
