I attended a tasting where it was presented and am not very familiar with this winery. My analysis on its ability to age was based on two factors: (1)- Lack of noticeable acidity. Usually Chardonnay that lacks acid does not age well. (2)- High alcohol. As the fruit fades with time age the alcohol (heat) quickly comes to dominate. I must confess that I personally prefer cooler climate Chardonnayi.e. Chablis and other white Burgundy, so this could prejudice my judgment. Thanks.VinhoVerde

11/26/20, 5:38 AM - I had the opportunity to sample both the Forts de Latour and the Grand Vin from cask in the spring of 2004. I thought the Chateau Latour was the wine of the vintage. However, the Forts de Latour was very close at a fraction of the price so I bought several bottles. Sadly, I drank the last bottle 3 years ago. Glad to see it’s still holding up.
Thanks for letting us know about this problem. We will review your comments and be in touch soon with an update.
