Chateau Latour Les Forts de Latour 2016 is the highly acclaimed second wine of the legendary Chateau Latour estate in Pauillac, Bordeaux. Crafted from grapes grown on older vines and parcels not deemed quite up to the standards of the Grand Vin, Les Forts de Latour consistently delivers exceptional quality. This 2016 vintage boasts a deep garnet-purple hue and unfolds in the glass with enticing aromas of ripe blackcurrants, juicy plums, and hints of candied violets, cardamom, and crushed rocks. The palate is medium to full-bodied, showcasing a beautiful balance between the power of Cabernet Sauvignon and the elegance of Merlot. Expect concentrated flavors of dark fruit, earth, and spice, supported by lively acidity and ripe, velvety tannins.
This exceptional wine is built for cellaring and will continue to evolve in complexity for decades to come. However, for a truly special occasion, decanting and enjoying it alongside a decadent meal elevates the experience. Pair it with roasted lamb, grilled rib-eye steak, or aged cheeses for a truly memorable culinary journey. Given its prestige and aging potential, Les Forts de Latour 2016 also makes a remarkable gift for wine enthusiasts or a celebratory toast on momentous occasions.
