76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot

Robert Parker: 90, James Suckling: 91/92

Robert Parker: The second wine, from vineyards outside of their famous walled l'enclos, the 2012 Les Forts de Latour (75% Cabernet Sauvignon and the balance mostly Merlot) is a beautiful, elegant wine with a dense purple color, notes of sweet black cherries and blackcurrants, subtle background minerality and no evidence of oak. This medium to full-bodied, beautifully constructed and layered Les Forts de Latour should drink nicely for 15 or more years. Drink: 2015-2030.
