| Over het wijnhuis | “When everybody else failed, Château Latour still came up with a decent wine”, schrijft Oz Clarke in zijn boek ‘Bordeaux - the wines, the vineyards and the winemakers’. Als student kon hij zich een groot jaar niet veroorloven, dus begon hij met de mindere jaren. En dat pakte goed uit. Niet verwonderlijk, want Latour behoort uiteraard tot de vijf Premiers Grands Crus Classés van de Médoc. |

| Awards | "Composed of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2012 Les Forts de Latour has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and nose of redcurrants, black cherries and kirsch with menthol, cigars and dried herbs. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is soft and vibrant with a lively line and an herbal lift on the finish." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "A juicy and rich red, offering chocolate and hazelnuts. Plum and berry undertones. Full-bodied with angular tannins that are firm and muscular. Needs a year or two to soften still." - James Suckling "Still redolent with dark fruit. Seductive maturity on the nose, a touch leathery but with a complex sweetness of decay and cigar box. Dry and fragrant on the palate, silky and so fresh. À point though the tannins still have a way to go. (JH)" - Jancis Robinson "Though I tasted the 2012 Les Forts de Latour, a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot, during en primeur back in 2013, this marks the first commercial release for this vintage. It boasts devilishly attractive pencil lead bouquet with blackberry, bilberry and a light sea spray influence. The palate is clean and fresh with very fine, almost edgy tannins. The precision here is undeniable, a tensile Les Forts de Latour that similar to many 2012s has blossomed during its bottle maturation. There is a mote of signature Pauillac mintiness that pop up towards the persistent finish, completing an assured Les Forts de Latour that might tempt those whose pockets are not deep enough for the co-released 2006 Latour." - Vinous "Admirably rich for the vintage, with solid plum and black currant paste flavors, allied to a decidedly brisk and racy structure and backed by plum pit, iron and singed alder notes through the finish, giving this a rather linear feel overall. Should age well, and will likely always have more cut than breadth. Best from 2017 through 2025." - Wine Spectator |
