Les Forts de Latour 2005 375ml

Les Forts de Latour is the second wine of Château Latour, the Pauillac first growth, and in great years it offers a true taste of the estate's power and pedigree. 2005 was one of Bordeaux's legendary vintages, and this bottling shows it, with Wine Spectator calling it "an amazing second wine." Blackberry, currant and raspberry mingle with coffee, cedar, licorice and fresh flowers, while the full-bodied palate is balanced and juicy with refined, silky tannins and a mineral, powerful finish. Critics have noted its perfumed, open-knit charm. This 375ml half bottle is ideal for a single dinner, and the smaller format means it is fully ready to drink now.
