Critical Acclaim:

97 Points, James Suckling "Already nicely open at this stage, with a ripe cedar quality to the cassis fruit. Some discreet notes of tobacco leaves, ash, black licorice and graphite. Lots of dusty tannins surround the palate, giving a dense but caressing sensation. Structured, polished and generous, but extremely well-formed. Really long, concentrated and layered."

96 Points Jeb Dunnuck "A blockbuster of a Les Forts, the 2020 Les Forts de Latour is based on 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26.5% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot and aged 18 months in 60% new French oak. Its deep ruby/plum hue is followed by textbook Latour notes of currants, melted crayon, graphite, and lead pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, dense, and concentrated on the palate, it has a powerful, structured mouthfeel, remarkable purity, perfectly ripe tannins, and a great, great finish. It might be the finest Les Forts I've tasted."
