Wine:
Dominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, Les 2017 red Forts de Latour presents itself with elegance and balance. It's a perfect Pauillac, in a classic style, benefiting from a fresh and tense vintage, which imparts typical notes of plum, cassis, and graphite from the region. The structured framework maintains great finesse, with flavors of blackberry and spices, firm tannins, and above all, superb freshness and a long finish. Rated 93/100 by Parker.
