Château Latour ranks among the most famous wine producers in the world. Its second wine Les Forts de Latour is produced with the same precision brought to bear in the grand vin. The main differences are that the Les Forts de Latour has a higher percentage of Merlot (25-30%) and it matured in oak casks, of which 50% were new barrels.

The Les Forts de Latour 2011 is a deep, dense purple in the glass. Fruitiness and floral notes characterize its bouquet. On the palate, the wine is sumptuous and velvety, with a complex, powerful and prolonged finish. Bordeaux expert René Gabriel writes about this assemblage consisting of 61.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot and 0.5% Cabernet Franc: “This wine has a brilliant, baroque, quite warm Cabernet bouquet hinting of coffee and dark precious wood, with an amazing depth.” Robert Parker judges: “One of the finest second wines now being made.”

Stag's Leap S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon
Robert Parker enthuses about the S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon, describing it as offering ‘sweet tannins, a succulent, fleshy mouthfeel, beautiful concentration and texture, and a long finish result in a sumptuous, irresistible mouthful of Cabernet Sauvignon’.The S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon has a fascinatingly multi-faceted bouquet offering aromas of cocoa powder, blackberries, currants and blueberries, which harmonize perfectly with a lovely spice. On the palate, the Stag’s Leap Vineyards is opulent and concentrated, with simultaneously powerful and round tannins. Notes of black currants and sweet oak characterize its finish.The wonderfully structured tannins, the lush fruit and the pleasant minerality signal the exceptional storage capability of this Cabernet Sauvignon from California. The Stag‘s Leap Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon matured for 21 months in new French oak casks. The grapes of individual parcels of land were vinified separately and only blended at the end of the barrel ageing.The S.L.V. (Stag‘s Leap Vineyards) wines are legendary. The exemplary vintage passed without any erratic weather conditions, providing the wine-growers with exceptional grapes and resulting in the S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon wine which Robert Parker simply calls ‘a beauty’.

Bibi Graetz Colore 2018
Wie schon beim Testamatta stammen die Trauben von Reben in einem Alter von 80 bis 135 Jahren, was sicherlich besonders ist. Diese Basis schafft einen Wein, der nicht nur sehr konzentriert und kraftvoll, sondern gleichermaßen homogen, rund und elegant ist. Diese Balance zu kreieren erstaunt doch sehr. Nachdem Einschenken ins Glas (wir hatten den Wein 2 Stunden vorher dekantiert) ein intensives Aroma von Kirschen und Himbeeren in der Nase. Gefolgt von Kräuternoten und dem Duft einer Blumenwiese. Durch eine deutliche Säure entsteht ein frisches und subtiles Bouquet. Am Gaumen zeigt sich der Bibi Grätz Colore 2018 komplex und kraftvoll mit feiner Raffinesse. Im Finish konzentriertes Lakritz und sogar etwas Tabak. Sichern Sie sich ein paar Flaschen von den nur 9000 produzierten Exemplaren dieses wunderbaren Weins. Der Wein wird durch ein paar weitere Jahre Flaschenreife sicher noch an Trinkfreude zunehmen. So ist es auch nicht verwunderlich, dass unter anderem James Suckling 99 von 100 Punkten, Robert Parker und das Decanter Magazin je 97 von 100 möglichen Punkten vergeben

San Marzano Sessantanni Primitivo di Manduria DOP
Production area: Selected vineyards of Neviera and Casa Rossa, located in San Marzano district. The soil is mainly “terra rossa”, with a fine texture and generally a calcareous undergound with a few emerging rocks. The well-known redness of these soils is due to the presence of iron oxides. The climate is characterised by high temperatures all year round, very few rainfalls and a wide difference of temperature between night and day, which has a nice influence on the quality of grapes. This is the “classical” central area of d.o.c. ”Primitivo di Manduria” Harvest period: Third decade of August, first decade of September Vinification: Hand-harvested in small baskets. Maceration: 18 days with selected autochtonous yeasts. Thermo-controlled alcoholic fermentation at 24-26 °C Maturation: In French oak barrels for 6 months Tasting notes: Intense ruby red colour, wide and complex to the nose, fruity, with prunes, cherry jam aroma, with notes of tobacco, slightly spicy. Full-bodied wine, soft and rich in fine tannins, with notes of cocoa, coffee and vanilla in the end. Best served with: Red meat, game, savoury first courses. Meditation wine
