Description
Half Bottle, 375 mL.
Château Latour-Martillac 2010, Grand Cru Classé de Graves
93 points Vinous
The 2010 La Tour Martillac vindicates itself as perhaps the ‘insiders’ choice’ from Pessac-Léognan. It has a well defined bouquet with blackberry, cassis, black olive and estuarine scents bouquet that is very complex and involving. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity and a pinch of black pepper towards the smooth and harmonious finish. It remains very backward but there is immense potential here. (NM) (4/2020)
93 points Wine Enthusiast
This is an austere, structured wine. Its tannic framework currently dominates, giving the impression of a firm wine. It feels like classic Bordeaux, upright and dense. This makes for a wine that will need several years’ aging. (5/2013)
92-93 points James Suckling
I love the mid-palate to this young and attractive red, with silky tannins and alluring mineral, berry and stone character. Enchanting. (4/2011)
92 points Wine Spectator
Dense, but supple along the edges, offering a packed core of cassis, blackberry and black cherry fruit. The lovely licorice, dark tobacco and violet notes glide to the finish, which shows solid, latent grip. (3/2013)
90 points Wine Advocate
Abundant notes of spicy oak, elegant black currants and rich fruitiness along with hints of forest floor and damp earth are followed by a medium to full-bodied wine with sweet tannin and the classic Pessac-Leognan/Graves characteristics of tobacco leaf and smoke. Deep fruit, moderate tannin and a long finish give this wine enough potential to last for up to two decades or more. (RP) 90+ (2/2013)
