2008 côtés de beaune, PN Majestic, bottle age PN at very best, smooth, redcurrant and berry galore, William S. — a month ago
I had the 2014 Latour a couple of years back. It was from a half bottle and I remember it was rather disappointing. But this wine has really come around. Or maybe it has been developing much better in a full size bottle. Today it’s graceful, with great posture and in perfect balance. A timeless beauty. I had a few 2014 (both left and right bank) lately and I find them very appealing right now. A unsung vintage that turned out pretty good imo. — 20 days ago
Pretty deep . Quite earthy , blueberry , blackcurrant , spicy cassis . Good volume , sweet fruit , cassis , spicy blueberry . Ok acidity , quite grippy but ripe tannins . Ok length . Still quite young, will benefit for more time in the cellar . From now and over the next 10 years or so . A good example from this chateau. — 3 months ago
Cherries, tobacco, coffee, blah, blah, blah. It was a nice wine with good balance though, don’t get me wrong. It paired well with my filet. — 4 days ago

Fantastic Napa cab that’s in a beautiful spot right now. Well balanced. Notes of Blackberry, Cassis, Pencil Shavings, Mint, and that ever present Rutherford Dust. — a month ago
You know you’re drinking Meursault from the first sip with the chalky minerality and saline. The body is round, thick & waxy. Green apple w/ plenty of skin, lime zest, lemon, tropical melons, grapefruit & white stone fruits. Some honey notes, crumbled chalk, sea fossils, sea spray, limestone marl, mid white spice, honey notes, white field of spring flowers with greens, round, rainfall acidity and a round, lush, well balanced, elegant finish that lasts two-minutes falling on minerality, excellent white spice and soft used barrel notes.
Another point or two with cellaring. — 3 months ago

De halve fles Château Les Forts de Latour 2014 toont een diepe robijnrode kleur en biedt een complexe neus van zwarte bessen, cederhout en een vleugje truffel.
In de mond is hij zijdezacht, met rijpe tannines en een prachtige balans tussen kracht en elegantie.
Ik proef iets van zwarte kersen, grafiet en kruiden die leiden naar een lange, verfijnde afdronk. Een klassieke Pauillac met veel diepgang en potentieel voor verdere rijping. — 4 days ago
