The 2018 Les Forts de Latour is a red wine blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot and a small amount of Petit Verdot. It exhibits a deep garnet-purple color and features notes of blackcurrant, cassis, blackberry pie, pencil lead, and clove. The wine is described as full-bodied, with a rich and concentrated flavor profile that is balanced by fine tannins and a long, flavorful finish. It's considered a serious, high-quality second wine that often competes with the Grand Vin of other estates.
