The 2015 Les Forts de Latour has a lovely nose, with very pure black cherry, raspberry, violet and light cassis scents unfolding with every swirl. The palate is medium-bodied with plush tannins and a velvety smooth texture but the acidity keeps this poised. It has impressive precision and judicious spiciness on the finish. This is a sophisticated and enticing Pauillac. Tasted blind at the 2015 Bordeaux Ten-Year-On tasting at Farr Vintners.
