Chateau Latour Martillac 2023

JAMES SUCKLING: "The blackberry and blueberry character comes through clearly here, alongside a hint of stone. Medium-bodied with creamy and polished tannins and a savory finish. Very typical for the appellation."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Composed of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 14% Petit Verdot and matured with 40% in new oak barrels, the 2023 Latour Martillac reveals aromas of dark wild berries, spices, pencil lead and mulberries, followed by a medium to full-bodied, concentrated and rich, layered and fleshy palate that segues into a firm, long and mineral finish. The increased proportion of Petit Verdot, a response to mildew affecting the Merlot grapes, imparts a more structured and firm character than seen in previous years."

FALSTAFF: „Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Frische rote Waldbeeren, ein Hauch von Kirschen, zart nach Vanille, etwas Nugat. Mittlerer Körper, rote Frucht, dezente Tannine, mineralisch, zart kräuterwürzig im Abgang, ein unkomplizierter Speisenbegleiter."
