Tasting notes
P.S. Little has been made (just under 4,000 cases), but Latour produces a generic wine under the Pauillac name that sports a label not dissimilar from the labels of Forts de Latour and Latour. The 2001 Pauillac (86-87) is good. Readers who have access to this wine would be well-advised to try it. It is best consumed during its first 7-10 years of life.

Lean and aromatic. Gentle texture, but drink soon! Quite light. Very easy. No rough edges. Light and slightly short. This third wine from the first growth, rarely seen on the market, unusually contains as much as 25 per cent press wine this year, apparently. (JR)
