About Les Forts de Latour 1974
Bottle (75cl)

Produced from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot on the soils of the Pauillac AOC, Les Forts de Latour is the second wine of the First Growth Château Latour. Les Forts de Latour 1974 is adorned with a beautiful dense, opaque ruby red colour. When aerated, it releases a complex and airy bouquet of roasted black fruits, soil and humus. On the palate, Les Forts de Latour 1974 is light with a sweet attack, supported by ripe fruit and a good dose of various spices. Les Forts de Latour 1974 is a good overview of the Latour style. He even manages to do better than many great wines in this relatively mediocre vintage for the Bordeaux region.
