2018 Chateau Latour Martillac 6 Pack

95 POINTS

Roger Voss - Wine Enthusiast

Owned by the Kressmann family, this estate has released an ageworthy wine. Rich tannins are balanced by dark, juicy blackberry fruits and dense, concentrated tannins. The wine needs to age, so drink from 2026.

Roger Voss - Wine Enthusiast

Rich with great fruits and structure, this wood-aged wine brings out the crisp texture of Sauvignon Blanc while having a creamy character and light toastiness. The wine is ready to age, so wait until 2023.

93–95. Barrel Sample. This wine is all about the lemon and apple fruit, with fresh acidity to maintain balance. That is not to say it does not also have texture, structure and a taut edge, all set for aging.

Jane Anson - Decanter

This takes its time to open, eventually revealing blackberry and black cherry fruits, layered with liquorice and chocolate, followed by some touches of bitterness on the finish. Harvested 17 September to 10 October, yielding 37hl/ha. 40% new oak. 3.71pH.

James Suckling

The blackberry and wet-earth character with some bark undertones, comes through clearly here. Medium-to full-bodied. Savory finish.

Wine Spectator

Sleek, with mesquite-infused cassis laced with an additional iron and sanguine thread. Finish picks up light savory and tobacco details. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot.

Wine Spectator

Dark plum and boysenberry compote notes are fleshy in feel, infused with dark tea, ganache and licorice accents. There's a smoldering hint through the finish. Intriguing. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Score range: 92-95
