Les Forts de Latour 1989 is a full-bodied, Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine from the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux. First produced in 1966, Les Forts de Latour is the second wine from the world-renowned Pauillac First Growth Château Latour. From the legendary 1989 Bordeaux vintage, this is an assemblage of Cabernet Sauvignon 70% and Merlot 30%. "Seductive aromas of dried autumn leaves, dried flowers and lovely floral notes. This wine has gorgeous, fresh array of flavours and a long finish." Jeannie Cho Lee, 2013
