2000 Les Forts de Latour, France, Bordeaux, Pauillac, Wine Review
This is, of course, the second label of Chateau Latour. In recent years the price on the seconds has sky-rocketed as well. That said, this is an excellent wine in a really nice place right now. Purple in color with ruby swirls, opaque and bright. The nose is nice with cassis, tobacco, leather, slight graphite and spice. Also a bit of the funk. Full bodied. Great balance. Medium tannins. On the palate, this is drinking well. Nots of cassis, slight dried cherries and a bit of leather. Some underlying char and funk. Long finish. Complex and deep. Drink over the next twelve to twe
