1975 Les Forts de Latour Pauillac
LATOUR CLONE?
I'd say, close! I drank Latour 75 many times, it's still very tight. This 2nd wine gives it a good mirror image of what you may expect of Latour 75 in perhaps 15 20 years time. Upon pouring, the Latour character jumped at me on the nose: tobacco and smoke. I chose to decant the wine and later I got dried tobacco. Palette is extremely balance of refined fruits and power, apart from lacking depth and complexity of the Grand Vin, I'd be happy to take it as a good clone of Latour! Don't decant.
