I loved the 2019 Château Latour-Martillac, and I under-rated it from barrel. Revealing a dense ruby/plum color as well as a gorgeous bouquet of blackcurrants, black cherry, smoked tobacco, gravely earth, and chocolate, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a round, layered mouthfeel, supple tannins, and one heck of a finish. It's beautifully done and will cruise for 25+ years in cold cellars. It needs plenty of air if drinking any time soon.

Sweet berry, spice, tobacco and dried rose-petal aromas. Full-bodied with beautifully integrated tannins and a creamy, polished texture. Refined and complex. One of the best young bottles ever from here. Better after 2025.

The 2019 Latour-Martillac was a little perplexing from the barrel samples that I received a few months back. Now in bottle, here is the Pessac-Léognan I know, with ample blackberry, cedar, black olive and light marine scents on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, quite fleshy but still nicely structured, and showing fine backbone on the sappy, white-pepper- and sage-tinged finish. Now this is promising.

Owned by the Kressmann family, a long-established Bordeaux negociant, this wine has ripe black fruits and dusty tannins. Both rich and structured, this wine needs aging and will be ready from 2026 (RV)

The nose screams Pessac, with stone-laden dark fruits, cassis, and black pepper on impressive and expressive aromas. The palate is silky, composed, and shows great depth and pedigree. The stony minerality surrounds blackberry fruit, good concentration, and a thread of acidity that carries the finish. The texture and complexity hint at great things to come, but there's already a lot going on with this remarkably priced gem.

Notes

94 points, Jane Anson for Inside Bordeaux: "Beautiful depth to the flavours here, this is just gorgeous, so bright and precise, with cassis, blackberry, bilberry, raspberry, a real array of fruit flavours, textures and acidity levels combining to give real complexity. 40% new oak, harvest September 19 to October 11. Great freshness and juice on the finish; this is a superlative Latour Martillac." (09/2021)
