Château Latour-Martillac Rouge 2019

Composed of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 8% Petit Verdot, harvested from the 19th of September to the 11th of October, the 2019 Latour Martillac came in at yields of 45 hectoliters per hectare with an alcohol of 14.2% and pH of 3.7. It is being aged in French oak barrels, 40% new. Deep garnet-purple in color, it sashays of of the glass with alluring scents of kirsch, Black Forest cake and warm cassis plus hints of lavender, forest floor, iron ore and tree bark. Medium-bodied, the palate is elegant and refreshing, giving layers of black berries and mineral notions with a finely grained frame and lifted finish. Gorgeous!

A solid, structured red with chocolate, spice and currants. Full-bodied, bright and polished. Very well done. Impressed.

Raspberry, blackberry and blueberry fruit, juicy and restrained with great balance, touches of earthiness and forest floor. An attractive fruit-forward wine that has depth and expands through the mid palate, with the Petit Verdot adding complexity and spice. A yield of 42hl/ha. Drinking Window 2024 - 2040.

The flagship 2019 Château Latour-Martillac offers classic Graves gravelly earth as well as ample chocolaty black fruits, truffle, and meaty, smoky notes. This rich, mouthfilling, nicely concentrated 2019 has sweet tannin, a rounded mid-palate, sweet tannins, and a great finish. It's up with the finest vintages I've tasted from this estate.
