Complex aromas of cherries, raspberries, rose petals, bay leaf and spices introduce the 2020 Latour Martillac, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy, lively wine with good depth and excellent balance. It represents an improvement on the 2019.

Pristine dark berries with chocolate, black licorice, nut shell and graphite. Some wet stones, too. Full and muscular with an array of well-grained, meaty tannins that unfold seamlessly throughout the bold, dark-fruited palate. So much going on here. Long length with a creamy, chocolaty finish.

Tasted blind. Very dark crimson. Pure, dark ripe black fruit with a nice stony quality. Dry, firm, but refined in both texture and flavour. (JH)

The 2020 La Tour-Martillac has a delightfully complex bouquet with blackberry, bilberry, damp loamy soil and cedar. Fresh, vibrant, the palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. Touches of sea salt and black olive emerge toward the finish. Excellent. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.

Another beautiful Pessac from 2020, the 2020 Château Latour-Martillac has a textbook bouquet of smoky red and black fruits, spring flowers, truffly earth, and smoked tobacco. With a lush, round, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, it has ripe tannins, some classic Graves sexiness, and a great finish. It's going to benefit from 5-6 years of bottle age and keep for 15-20 years.
