Chateau Latour - Les Forts de Latour 2002

92 THE WINEADVOCATE: "A classic second wine that shows outstanding potential, the dark ruby/purple-colored 2002 has notes of cedar wood, black currants, earth, and truffles in a medium to full-bodied, supple-textured, beautifully concentrated style that can be drunk now or cellared for 10-15 years." 17 WEINWISSER: "Dunkles Rubin-Granat mit lila Reflexen. Schlankes, aber recht tiefgründiges Bouquet, florale Cabernet-Würze, Heidelbeeren, Rauch und schwarze Hölzer. Mittelgewichtiger Gaumen mit guter Muskel- und Säurestruktur, sanft kernige Gerbstoffe, momentan noch etwas vordergründig, aber aufzeigend, dass Latour gewillt ist, den besten Zweitwein des Bordelais zu vinifizieren." 90+ ANTONIO GALLONI: "Good deep red-ruby. Cool aromas of raspberry, currant, black olive and spicy oak. Sweet, sexy flavors of redcurrant, tobacco, nuts and dried herbs. A bit more compact today than the 2004, but finishes with suave tannins and very good grip. Showing a bit of an acid edge following the bottling."
