Tobacco and blackberries are complemented by thyme, cedar and a touch of mint. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, with focused, mineral-tinged tannins. Firm in the finish yet balanced by a tight dark-fruit core. Needs time. Better from 2028.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Appellation

Graves

Graves, a venerable appellation in Bordeaux, France, is renowned for its historical significance and the production of distinguished red and white wines. What makes Graves unique is its diverse terroir, featuring gravelly soils that not only lend the region its name but also provide excellent drainage and heat reflection, contributing to the ripening of grapes. Red wines from Graves are predominantly blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, offering a balanced expression of dark fruits, structure, and age-worthy potential. The appellation is also celebrated for its exceptional white wines, primarily crafted from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. These whites showcase bright acidity, citrus flavors, and a unique flinty character. Graves is home to renowned châteaux like Haut-Brion, a Premier Cru Classé, exemplifying the region's commitment to producing wines of exceptional quality and character. Exploring Graves unveils the essence of Bordeaux winemaking, where tradition and terroir converge to create wines that resonate with history and sophistication.

The 2023 Latour-Martillac has quite a voluminous bouquet with blackberry, violet and black olive scents, becoming increasingly floral with aeration. Fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with finely sculpted tannins, beautifully balanced with a harmonious, silky-smooth finish. This is better than the white and should age gracefully in bottle.

A brilliant Pessac-Léognan, the 2023 Château Latour-Martillac offers ripe black cherries, cassis, and smoky herbs as well as chocolate and tobacco nuances on the nose. Based on 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, and 13% Petit Verdot and aged 14 months in 35% new oak, it's medium-bodied on the palate, with a pure, layered, graceful mouthfeel, ripe, polished tannins, and outstanding length. It's beautifully done and well worth seeking out. It offers ample pleasure today yet has enough tannins to warrant just 4-5 years of bottle age. It’s going to cruise for two decades in cold cellars. Tasted multiple times. Drink 2030-2050.

Sleek and fresh, with a subtle sanguine twinge running along the edges of the dark currant and cherry preserve notes. Licorice root and ink fill in through the lengthy and focused finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2036.

90-91 2023 Latour-Martillac is a bit closed on the nose and the structure of the wine is very tannic and backward. It does not reveal a whole lot about its personality at this stage and the tannins seem almost overwhelming compared to the fruit is has to offer. Normally I am a great fan of this chateau and this vintage should be retasted in a few years time. For now I will rate it.
