Stellar bottle of wine but definitely overshadowed by the other wines that night.

Performance honnête pour ce 2e vin. Très beau nez.... poivré et poivron vert en bouche. Belle longueur

Well...what can you say about les Forts de Latour? There are second wines, there are good second wines, even real good ones......and there is Les Forts de Latour. Even at age of 26 this "2nd" wine is alive and kicking and in no hurry at all. Pure classic powerful claret. Love it! What a steal it was those days......

Hard to believe how good this was for a 2nd wine and what a privilege to taste the 1990 latour and fort the Latour a few weeks apart.
