Vinous: 93 Points
The 2014 Les Forts de Latour has one of the most impretive aromatics amongst the Pauillac, with blackberry, cedar and cassis notes. A touch of pencil lead comes through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins. It's fresh and saline, with brisk graphite-infused black fruit towards the persistent, fleshy, silky finish. Outstanding for a Deuxième Vin. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
The 2014 Les Forts de Latour is a blend of 71.4% Cabernet Sauvignon and 28.6% Merlot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it needs a little coaxing to reveal expanding scents of blackcurrant pastilles, baked plums and boysenberries with suggestions of wood smoke, fragrant earth, cast-iron pan and charcuterie plus a faint waft of black truffles. Medium-bodied, the earthy/savory palate has loads of lively black fruit with a refreshing line and firm, grainy tannins, finishing on a lingering ferrous note.
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
Offers a core of pure cassis and blackberry fruit, with mouthwatering streaks of graphite and anise. Racy-edged, featuring ample grip buried through the finish. Reveals a violet echo for good measure. Textbook. Best from 2018 through 2030.
