2020, Les Forts de Latour, PAUILLAC70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26. 5% Merlot, 3. 5% Petit Verdot Love the texture and depth on display from the first moment, a brilliant vintage to track down a bottle of Les Forts de Latour. This is packed with delicious and sappy blackberry, damson and cassis fruit, coupling concentration and elegance. 60% new oak for ageing.

2018: Finely textured

this is a great Bonnes-Mares from de Vogüé

The 2018 has a caressing texture and is very persistent

it somehow stays flawlessly balanced

sappy and moreish

In the mouth

The 2021 is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon

apricot and Seville orange are all crystal clear

mace and cranberry make an appearance

giving way to a profound core of blackcurrant cordial

inviting 2021

Inky red fruit
