2020 Château Latour-Martillac, Cru Classé Pessac-Léognan

The 2020 Latour-Martillac is one of the hidden gems of the campaign this year. Matte tannins and smoky notes mark this out as a stunning Pessac: there's incredible vibrancy on the finish, too. This is a top notch effort, and is not to be missed.

This really builds on the palate with blackberry, blueberry and stone aromas and flavors. Medium to full body. Creamy finish.

The 2020 Latour-Martillac offers an enticing bouquet of black fruit infused with black olive, background citric scents lending a bit of zest. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, well-integrated oak and impressive depth. This is a very assured and confident Latour-Martillac that continues their strong run of form. Perhaps one of the dark horses of the appellation in 2020, this should be on your primeur shopping list.

16.5/20 – Jancis Robinson MW, jancisrobinson.com

Cask sample. Stewed black fruit on the nose, giving loads of generosity and richness. Semi-firm tannins, liquorice and star anise on the length. Plump but well built, all centred around powerful black fruit.
