Chateau Latour 'Les Forts de Latour', Pauillac, France 2014 Chateau La Pointe Ishikawa’s 17th century Kutani YakiThe 2014 Forts de Latour has turned out beautifully. Pliant, supple and open knit, the wine is super expressive, even at this early stage. There is lovely depth to the dark red cherry, plum and leather nuances, all in the vivid, articulate style that is found in the best 2014s. Best of all, the 2014 Forts de Latour will drink well with minimal cellaring.
