Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Latour Martillac comes barreling out of the glass with bold notes of baked blackberries, plum preserves and redcurrant jelly, plus suggestions of garrigue, pencil shavings and menthol with a waft of tree bark. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a sturdy frame of firm, grainy tannins and just enough freshness to support the generous fruit, finishing long and earthy.
Vinous: 91 Points
The 2018 Latour-Martillac is loaded with black fruit, chocolate, leather, licorice, cloves, gravel, game and dried herbs. Powerful and dense in the glass, the 2018 is presently marked by huge tannins that are going to need time to soften. The 2018 was much more charming from barrel. Today, it is quite the brute.
