Flavour notes
Dark in colour and ripe on the nose, it opens with red and dark fruit: redcurrant, black cherry, plum, cassis and kirsch. Around that come menthol, mint, dried herbs, violets, cedar, tobacco, cigar, chocolate and hazelnut, alongside the graphite and pencil-shaving notes that give the wine its clear Pauillac signature.On the palate it is medium to full in body, juicy and savoury-spiced, with lively acidity and tannins that range from fine to firm. The finish carries graphite, black pepper, herbs and a lasting savoury line. Serving around 17 to 18°C suits the wine well, and decanting before tasting is recommended for this vintage.

Product info about Les Forts De Latour 2012 Demi (37,5cl)
Les Forts de Latour 2012 is the second wine of Château Latour in Pauillac, offered here in a 37.5 cl half bottle. The smaller format does not change the wine's identity: this is a Left Bank red Bordeaux led by Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot and a small proportion of Petit Verdot in the blend.The name Les Forts de Latour has been used since 1966 and refers to a historic vineyard plot within Château Latour's Enclos. For this wine, the estate draws on several sources within its holdings, including the edges of the Enclos and parcels in classified Pauillac zones. Each lot is handled separately, with selection based on grape variety, vine age, parcel context, soil and ripeness.
The 2012 vintage saw a wet spring, a drier summer period and a harvest that ran from 24 September to 16 October. Although rain arrived during harvest, the grapes were described as being in good condition. The wine was matured in French oak barriques, with 50% new oak for this vintage.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, a half bottle like this earns attention because it brings together the depth of a serious Pauillac, the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon and the practicality of a smaller format. These are also last bottles, making this 37.5 cl release a particularly interesting way to approach Les Forts de Latour 2012.
Dark in colour and ripe on the nose, it opens with red and dark fruit: redcurrant, black cherry, plum, cassis and kirsch. Around that come menthol, mint, dried herbs, violets, cedar, tobacco, cigar, chocolate and hazelnut, alongside the graphite and pencil-shaving notes that give the wine its clear Pauillac signature.
On the palate it is medium to full in body, juicy and savoury-spiced, with lively acidity and tannins that range from fine to firm. The finish carries graphite, black pepper, herbs and a lasting savoury line. Serving around 17 to 18°C suits the wine well, and decanting before tasting is recommended for this vintage.
