Les Forts de Latour 2004 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 Château Latour, which produces three red wines in total. The 2004 expression is a blend of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon and 26% Merlot. "Deep garnet coloured, the 2004 is intensely perfumed of warm blackcurrant, pencil lead, black olives and a hint of dried Mediterranean herbs. The palate is drinking nicely now with a firm structure balanced by plenty of mid-palate flesh and finishing long." Wine Advocate, 2012
