Tasting Notes and Scores
[First bottle just a touch of TCA] Dark, brick-rimmed red; freshly sweet and ripe and gently gravelly to smell; a fresh middleweight with a fine, mostly resolved tannin; a ripe, gravelly flavour, juicy, almost a succulence here, long to taste, long and minerally to finish. A fine, complete Les Forts. Now – 2025 [M Schuster March 2014]
Michael Schuster
A very dark colour. A dark broody nose, quite earthy and damson and even sloes. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, blackberries, a touch of soy, a slight earthiness on the finish. Almost savoury on the off-dry finish. Needs time to mellow out, much more unresolved than the ’02 but I would suggest a better long-term prospect. Drink 2013-2025. Nov 2008

Deep red. Aromas of blueberry, plum, leather, tobacco and mocha. Sweet, plummy and pliant, with a creamy, fine-grained texture for the vintage. Very plush wine, richer than the 2006 and at least as long. Finishes with big but ripe tannins. May 2007

The estate’s second wine continues to go from strength to strength. The 2004 Forts de Latour (includes 75% Cabernet Sauvignon) reveals a deep ruby/purple hue, classic evolved cedary, lead pencil, and cassis characteristics, medium body, beautiful sweetness of fruit, and a more forward, evolved character than its big sibling. Enjoy it over the next 15+ years. Also tasted: 2004 Pauillac (87)
