Les Forts de Latour拉圖二軍 一級酒莊
特色

Les Forts de Latour「拉圖之堡壘」為一級酒莊Chateau Latour的二軍酒款,其酒質可媲美四級酒莊,其實拉圖酒堡的釀酒團隊是抱著將這款二軍酒維持在二級酒莊的水準之態度釀製她,的確在一些特優的年份中像﹕1982, 1996, 2000的Les Forts de Latour都堪稱有二級酒的氣質,這也難怪其價格在五大酒莊的二軍酒中高居不下。

此款二軍酒的葡萄來自四所葡萄園﹕Petit Batailley, Comtesse de Lalande, Les Forts de Latour以及Latour本園(一些較年輕或尚未達到一級水準的的葡萄樹),所釀之酒非常接近其母酒拉圖堡本身,只是酒體較為淡雅也較早熟,但仍需醇化數年後才能成熟。Les Forts de Latour是五大酒莊二軍酒中品質最優的一款。


在2010這個經典好年份,Les Forts de Latour表現得非常精彩,Parker給予極高的讚美,說它「比過去偉大的拉圖堡本身的許多年份都要好(which is better than many vintages of the great Latour itself from the past)!」。它是由72.5 % Cabernet Sauvignon 和27.5 % Merlot調和釀製,聞起來有成熟的黑醋栗、黑莓果香,再加上香料和石墨、礦石、泥土等豐富馥郁的香氣,在口中呈現中上的酒體,口感寬廣而純淨高雅,餘味紮實持久,全然是頂級酒莊的水準。陳年潛力也很強,建議適飲期是現在到2048年左右!

Deep garnet in color, the 2010 Les Forts de Latour seems just a little tired compared to the last time I tried it, offering a core of dried mulberries, fruitcake and Chinese five spice followed by scents of balsamic, woodsmoke and fragrant earth. Full-bodied, the palate has chewy, rugged tannins and evolved black fruits, finishing spicy. While still very delicious, I think this bottle may have been a bit oxidized, ergo the question mark after the score.
