Les Forts de Latour--Vintage 2003
Pauillac
Tasting note: The 2003 Les Forts de la Tour possesses a dense ruby/plum/purple colour in addition to notions of cold steel, lead pencil shavings, and crème de cassis. Full-bodied, opulent, heady, rich, and lush, it can be drunk now or cellared for 15+ years
A strong argument can be made that in 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004, Latour produced the wine of the vintage, although it has plenty of competition in the Northern Médoc in 2003. Moreover, the bargains are the estates least expensive cuvée, Pauillac, followed by Les Forts de Latour, Latour's second wine which continues to increase in quality.
