| Tasting note |
The 2017 Latour-Martillac is a dark, powerful wine with a ton of Cabernet Sauvignon savoriness, depth and structure. Black cherry, graphite, spice, leather, lavender and menthol infuse the 2017 with striking character and power. The 2017 is a serious, at times stubborn, wine that needs time to soften. Even in the early going, though, it is impressive. By Antonio Galloni, Mar 2020.
Packed with tannins as well as delicious black-currant fruits, this is a dense wine. Dark tannins are an important part of the wine's potential, underlining the structure while supporting the ripe fruits. Drink from 2023. By Roger Voss @ Wine Enthusiast, Jan 2020.
A dark-berry and dark-chocolate character with spices. Medium body and a delicious finish. By James Suckling, Apr 2018.
A lovely fresh and powerful nose imprinted with red and black fruits such as blackcurrant and black cherry. The mouth is all juicy, creamy fruit incorporating delicate and silky tannins. On the finish the oak is rounded. The density and complexity of the fruit is surprising. Optimal Tasting 2025-2040. Grapes: 63% Cabernet Sauvignon 30% Merlot 7% Petit Verdot. By Ch. Latour-Martillac. |
